I actually made my own pipe guard using fiberglass mating and resin. I just wrapped my pipe in tin foil then started to put on layers of mating and resin. After a few layers I took it off the pipe and just kept building on the guard till it was the thickness I wanted it. After it was nice and hard I just spray painted it with high temp BBQ paint (black). I also incorperated hose calmps through the fiber glass when I was building it so the hose clamps arnt visible on the front of the guard. When it was all said and done it cost me about $15 and about 5-6 hours of labor. In the future I will get quicker at it but I made some mistakes so I had to spend close to 3 hours sanding it to get a smooth surface and a more finished look. It fits perfect and protects the pipe very well. And it brings the noise down quite a bit on an aftermarket pipe, so put one of these on a stock KDX pipe and you'll be totally silent:D
And about the smell, there is none!! None at all. When I stop after riding to take a break I can very faintly smell the resin but I barely notice it. Its on a FMF Burly pipe that I always used to dent and pay like $30 to get it repiared. I had the pipe for like 3 months and I had to get it repaired twice. But I will keep testing the guard and then maybe sell them to my friends:cool:
I'm relatively sure the fredetter fender is made by maier. I have one of the older style maier pipe guards on my Can-Am, made of some sort of metal (not aluminum but not stainless) and it'll take a heck of a hit with no damage, I need to get one for my KDX though.
Im sure Fredette makes pipe guards that fit all the popular brands and models of pipes and since the FMF Torque pipe is a very popular pipe with KDXers they probably make aguard that'll fit fine:D
