I just got my KX500 the other day and ordered the most important things first: Scott's stabalizer, Pro Tapers, skid plate, and a 10 paddle rear tire. My next purchase will be the 3.7 gal. IMS tank with the 250 shrouds and the low boy pipe. I've seen the Zip Ty set up with the pipe made by Flow. I was wondering which pipe Destry is running on his bike, to me it looks like the FMF fatty. I've been to FMF's site but doesn't advertise anything about the low boy set up.

Thanks

Destry runs a Gnarly and Rick can answer all the questions about the ZipTy combo.

I just bought the zip ty kit off ebay for 300 bucks.. It has the fmf pipe ill unpack today and let you know what i think when i put it on. I will be liquidating my standard ims tank and fmf gnarly pipe.

I called FMF. They only made a lmited run of the lowboy pipes for Ty. Ty now only sells the Flow pipe. So sdkx500, you the lowlife that beat me out of that ebay tank...lol. Let us know how it works. Also, how much for you curent tank and pipe, what kind of shape are they in?

I just got the flow pipe and it rubbs against the water line that goes from the water pump to the cylinder, right around the top hose clamp.
Anyone else have this problem???

I had the same problem with the Flow pipe. I had to clearance it to fit, a 1" socket worked well to increase the relief that was there. It didn't take much, just a couple taps so be carefull and don't overdo it, and I haven't had any problems since. The pipe fit well otherwise. Seat of the pants, I feel that its pretty close to FMF's desert pipe.

Does the standard silencer work with the lowboy/ZipTy kit? ZipTy makes it sound like you must buy their silencer. (which looks pretty cool but how does it work?)

Stock, FMF and probably PC silencers will fit just fine. Dan

Funny, I didn't have any problems with hose clearence, but my pipe was one of the first units, so certainly a different production run. If the problem exists, increasing the relief would certainly do the trick.

On the silencer, I, too, use an FMF unit.

I guess i'm going to have to dent it, I really don't like the idea of paying top dollar for a pipe that don't fit correctly. I never paid so much for a pipe. $265 with shipping!! Too much!!

Send it back and get one that fits.

Manny, I want an SR500 pipe

teamgreen500 · « **Reply #12 on:** January 09, 2004, 06:36:55 AM »

It's being "Looked" at.

Funny thing, though. It's a lot like a stocker...with a few mod's, that is.

I thought the Ty tank held something like 4.2 or 4.0 gallons,but I noticed on Ty's web site its listed as holding 3.7gallons?How much does it really hold?
