Does anyone else burn there legs on aftermarket pipes? (yes, I do wear race pants and race boots)I have a Dynoport 2 into 1. When I go into a right hand turn my leg hits the pipe. I know there is nothing i can go about it. but i was just curios if this happens to other people too. I love my 2 into 1 pipe, I would never consider anything else for MX!!!

 

I think everyone burns their legs from time to time......I know my Fatty's get pretty darn hot after only a few laps.....

I don't think I feel the heat while riding ....never really noticed it....But I sometimes get home and realize I have a burn here or there.

It's part of it I guess

 

I wore a brand new pair of jeans riding one day. It wasnt serious riding, in fact I was only riding down the road to a neighbors house, not hot rodding or anything else. Anyway, my 300EX pipe gets real hot real quick, I am talking hot in a minute or two. When I got home I realized that I had burned a hole though the leg of the jeans. Boy was my mom pissed.

 

I have the LRD pipes on my 99 Banshee, and when I was testing them out I was only wearing shorts and running shoes. Well as I was going into I turn I leaned and my lower leg hit the pipe and gave me a nice little burn. Had a nice blister for a few days.

When I'm wearing my riding pants and boots I don't get burned at all.

I hear with the Paul Turner pipes you don't get that problem at all.

99 Banshee

 

think its just one of those things that happens..

 

if you guys are getting burned.just buy some header wrap that stuff works great and its fairly cheap.it will look a little ugly but at least you wont get burned.

 

rhino99- What kind of goofball are you to say a 300ex will burn you while going down the road?IN the first place ,don`t go on streets! 2nd place, 300ex pipes are tucked inside the chassis enough to insure that they won`t scorch you while riding down the street(presumably while in the straight up position)!RIDE RESPONSIBLY 88TECATE-4 86TRI-Z250

 

Hola.....or whatever...

I thought you had a Moto-Fast...the Dynoports are somewhat higher in cost than the Moto-fast...I think I am going to go w/ the Moto-fast b/c I've heard that Dyno-Port copied the design from Moto-fast anyway. Plus it is cheaper. I could get a stainless steel version of the pipe for what a darn Nickel plate cost from DP. Is that what you got? The nickel plating? Or chrome?

You'll prolly be seein me w/ a new Moto-fast and runnin a nice LSR axel next race. Do you not like the Caddo-Point track? I love that track....MORE AIR! Well, talk to ya later man.
