THATS FLUCKIN SHITHOUSE!!!! FLUCKIN CARNTS!!! Aren't you out Gisborne way? I really dont understand what they plan on doing with such easily recognisable bikes, even parts on these bikes are so easy to identify especially with bikes that owners know so intimately after working on them so long and hard. I hope you turn up some leads Luffy, i feel for ya mate. That thing was only just finished! :'(

sorry to hear bout your bad luck luffy.hope it turns up.keen to try and start the rotax at night if there was no light .hard enough to do in the day.dont know what they think they are going to do when they knock off these types of bikes its a small world in the older dirt bike scene surely someone will come across it somewhere .cheers gregg

Sorry to hear about the theft Luffy but there's a silver lining: some lowlife is going exit the gene pool if they ride that beast :)

Man that sucks, you had them looking really good too.
I feel for you.


So far that is the only KTM 500 pipe I have made and it is different to most other pipes I have made in that it has that extra header section that curves backwards on the right hand side.
That pipe should stand out if this bike ever sees daylight.

Sounds like a good lead Luffy, just remember that as good as it will feel to give the scum bags a touch up it will unfortunately end up meaning you'll be in more trouble then them! >:( Just get the bike back and let the plod do what they're paid to do  ;)
