GOT IT TO FIT !!! 1/4-3/9" bend and it slides in place nicely now.... NO LONGER FOR SALE...... the beat up/dented/leaking FMF FATTY IS THOUGH....

The pipe will fit your bike your just not trying hard enough.

My 2000 has a pipe from a 1990
My 97 AF has a pipe from a 2000

The only pipes that wont work are the hi style pipes from the 85-88s.

unless its tweaked.. the guy said he wasnt sure if it was or not... the inlet wont clear the frame rail by about an inch.... im thinking it got tweaked during his hillclimbing comp..... ive tried multiple times/multiple ways.. its not going to magically get past the frame rail...

should fit. might have to take airbox off, maybe. had trouble with mine cuz it was tight and kept hitting airbox. fit good once i got it on.

ok well i may try again... im thinking it hits the head and frame rail long before it gets to the airbox but ill try again...

i have to use a big rubber hammer to get my pipe on and off, its bent tho
i take the manifold off, put the pipe on the manifold, then bolt it up
but its a wrestling match every time, hits the frame rail, cylinder Y and radiator, usualy takes me 20-30 minutes,
swearing is mandatory its the only way itl go on
then again my pipe is mangled
hope this helps

oh and i wish i could get that close to the manifold.. it doesnt make it past the frame rail let alone get onto the manifold..

same as mine it wont get past the ignition side frame rail, so i use the big rubber hammer a 2x4 and lots of cursing and wriggle it on
and its tight tho, my frame rail has started race clearancing from taking the pipe on and off

hmm mine hits the clutch side frame rail by about an inch.... as i said it could be tweaked since it was on a hillclimb bike but guy wasnt sure. thats why he said try it and if it dont work send it back..
thanks

i can almost throw a fatty at my 2003 250 chassis. gnarly is tighter cuz it hits the water drain casting on the jug going in, but has plenty of room once its in place

you don't necessarily need heat. That reinforcement on the Gnarly is nearly pointless, since all of them crack anyhow. Give it a go with a longer rod!
