What happens IF factory pipe where to stop producing B-Pipes?

[hornedogg79]

Yesterday I installed a brand new, customer supplied, factory b pipe and all three adjustment screws were already stuck. Nothing quite like the real thing.

Funny you mention that, I recently installed a brand new B-pipe I have had sitting on the shelf for the past 3 years and the factory screws were damn tight and almost stripped while I was trying to remove them. I always remove those and install the larger Blowsion screws before I ever even run them. All my ski's have the larger Blowsion screws

I assume Wax addressed this issue somehow on the new headpipe?

The head pipe uses m6 threads. So you can put decent torque on them to move them and it’s a proper bolt. I use anti seize on them. I set them once and it’s done

Media polishing is an awesome thing
