Title: Dent in my pipe...
Post by: YZ250 on April 16, 2010, 08:43:03 PM: The one problem with 2 strokes is that they have such a big exhaust pipe. now i know it looks really cool but they can get dented really easy. especially if you fall. like I did... anyway, now i have a big dent in my pipe and even though it doesn't affect power or torque (from what i can notice) it really affects the look. it looks terrible! any suggestions on how to get that dent out?

It says $60 plus s+h so how much do you think the total cost would be?

The easy way to find out is to call or send an e-mail... that's what I would do.
