skinart · Post by **skinart** » February 6th, 2011, 12:07 am

Hi everyone,

I have a Service Honda 2005 CR500AF and want to replace the pipe on it, and I would like to know if the normal FMF CR500 pipe will fit or if they are a special made pipe?

Thanx in advance guys

Well I wanted to get it from SH, but when the shipping to Australia is $6 more then the pipe price, its a little steep.

$229 for the pipe, $235 for shipping ... I think the pipe goes on a private jet in first class with champagne.

I found a guy on eBay that will ship the normal 500 pipe for $58, +$185 for the pipe, that rear bracket is not worth $221 to me lol

They told me the box is to large to ship with USPS, and it can only be sent by UPS. Although the pipe I just bought of eBay is being shipped via USPS ... so I dunno what the story is.

I could have understood if it was $70 or $80 or even $100 ship ... but $235 sweet jesus!

Hey 2strokeforever, did you cut the rear bracket off your pipe?

I guess I should have found out how much they ship them for inside the U.S and just sent it to one of my online friends and had them re-ship it ...

The last SH pipe I bought was around 25$ to ship, The last CR5 pipe I sent down under was $50 thru USPS.

Somethin don't smell right

ya, roughed with a grinder, and finished it with a file
its really easy, dont think about it, just do it, then you can fit other pipes, cpi, dep, fmf fatty, stock, doma.... instead of just pc or gnarly

The size of the box only allows for UPS shipping. We do not have another option. Sorry.

No worries mate sounds easy. I actually ended up getting the pipe including shipping for $244, and the clamp cost me $8 ... so saved a few few $$ this way.

I was refering to the shipping price SH quoted. That's beyond outrageous

How much would the shipping be if you didn't ship the pipe on it's own private jet?

I order mine through Ballards in penrith nsw.. You could always use a pro circuit pipe & move the mount on the frame.. I'm near newcastle nsw & have an aluminium fabrication & welding business.. You'll see my AF's for sale on ebay soon.. I'm only planning on selling them for 500 bucks more than it costs to build one.. I'm starting a revolution, Sugarloaf Mountain sounds gay now that 4 strokes have taken over.. Everytime I stop all I can hear is that fart noise that 4 strokes make as they try to accelerate.. It's sad..
