My 550 and 750 have the drain holes in the same place as Johns
Not that they seem to do much I still have water poor out if I remove and upend them.

  by the magic of phone cameras ,here are the underside of my 4 pipes,sorry they are dirty!
but I think they are about 25 years old !

BTW,do the new replicas 323 pipes have drain holes ?

My replica 341 pipes do don't know about the replica 323
The reason your pipes have made it to 25 is because your not to worried about using your bike and racking up the miles.

The K3 550 pipes are the seamless type, similar to the 750K7 design, and as stated they had a breather hole under the silencer outlet only, quick rot by design!
If it's got tits or wheels, it's hassle, if it's got both, RUN!!!

Not sure about the 323's John, you would have to come and get a set off the shelf and unpack them to find out but the replica 341's have drain holes

323 reps do have the drain holes. Was actually one of the reasons why it took DsS so long to restock them - the first batch they had  in the supplier put the drain holes on the top, not bottom...duh!!!!
