Gum Gum or new pipes ?

[Captain Chaos]

Hi Chaps,
 
Dilema time... I have a gen 1 and was interested to know if anyone had any experiance of using Gum Gum to cover a hole in the downpipe ? It's this or some new stainless Delkevic ones i have seen on ebay ? does anyone have preferance or experiance of either ?
 
Cheers chaps

farting around with Gum will only be temporary and for me is a waste of money.

dont bother trying to fix with that stuff its only temporarily could be welded if not to bad or its new pipes .   if your short of cash and will pick it up ive a good set of stock pipes in me garage you can have for say £50

The standard downpipes rot too badly for bodging paste to do much good, I've just fitted the sandy bike spares stainless downpipes via ebay and they fitted great, add a delkevic end can and it sounds nice too.

I went as far as buying a tin of gum gum but gave up before trying. Instead ended up buying downpipes and end can from Motad through ebay. If not on there, give them a ring as it was cheaper than both Sandy and Delkevic at the time and I'm very pleased so far. Also, remember to ask for the gaskets

I weighed up the motad vs sandy bike spares bit and once you include the gaskets they were within a couple of quid so went local, I believe the sandy pipes are made local too.
