FYI - be careful what is advertized by dcreel. I drove 5 hours to check out this bike and found out it was a POS. The only thing I wanted from the bike was the Westcoast swingarm witch was the only thing on the ATC that was in good conduction.

Wrong!!! - The bike has no brakes at all - The oil plug hole was broken out - The oil in the engine was white. - Both front forks where shot - The rear shock was blown - The wire harness was cut up and the chain was missing the master link clip.
I was pretty mad at this point about the deception and left to get some lunch. Normally I would go elsewhere to buy what I want. Thought it over lunch and figured out I was not going to find a +4 Westcoast in good shape so I went back and gave him the $350 bucks he wanted for the bike.
So the next day I removed the Westcoast swinger from the bike and fully checked it out. The swinger was truly the only gem on the bike. I removed the Honda HK2030 bearings and cast shock mount. Next stop for the swinger is the powder coat shop for a fresh new shine. :)
Just for kicks I put on my old stock chrome swinger onto the junker and cleaned the carburetor and set the float and put on a good used intake boot I had laying around. I then flushed the old oil out of the case and put in some fresh new oil. I also borrowed my rear brakes off my good Teacte to put on this one. Found out I was not able to start the bike. I'm able to start my friends kx500 with no problems. So we decide to put the Raptor to use and pull start the bike. We got it started but the bike would hardly run at all. I kept it running for about 15 minutes and then shut it off. Found out the antifreeze went right into the oil and turned it white again. Not sure if it's a blown gasket or what. At this point I believe the bike is ready for it final resting ground.

I feel better I just about went 8-10 days ago to buy it but decided not to. Kid sounded funky. NO SALE. Found a complete 250r with Klemm Research package on it. everything. Carb to intake/reed cage, ported cyl, head mods, ignition mods and yes Pipe and Silencer. pipe not dented anywhere, silencer a little oily. decals good. kickers were steer damper & headlite guard. I feel a little guilty. OK rubber and plastics are fair.

I thought about driving to check it too. But I could tell it was rougher than described, plus 85 KX500 motor was like a one year only motor, impossible for parts, but the westcoast swingarm was worth the price. It looks like its actually a +6, hard to tell from pic.

It is a +4 swinger.

What brand of pipe is it? Any markings?

There is no markings on the drag pipe. The pipe itself looks well made but the welds for the braces dont look as good.
