March 5, 20206 yr Bought a GG 2017 280 Contac , stock silencer is a little tweak and slightly bent ,pipe looks good . Just want to replace stock Silencer only . Whole OEM silencer unit #BT860002811 is @ $522.00 (calculations?$?),,,, Any good Aftermarket best Brand I should be looking at ? Thank you.
March 5, 20206 yr The silencer/exhaust is one complete unit unlike the older models where the silencer was separate. Do you mean the plastic exhaust end cap? These can be vulnerable especially for people who like to sit on the back of the airbox whilst pulling wheelies. You can put an extra pop rivet in between the 2 bolt holes on the top that helps with this. If you still have problems then you can by an alloy aftermarket end cap which is a bit more substantial: https://www.splatshop.co.uk/bdi-dpm-gasgas-aluminium-silencer-end-piece-2010-onwards.html

OEM part # BT860002811 , The original owner laid it down hard wheeling in the parking lot , only foot pegs and Exhaust/Silencer took the hit , everything else still looks brand new. Thanks bumpy for the info .
