A skunk pipe? I bought one back in 1977 for a CR 125. It look like a regular pipe but at the end the "Stinger" made a 90' downward turn and blew on the chain. It was promoted as the chain lube pipe.

I think some called it a "Snail Pipe" also.

Snail and Snake pipes stayed mostly in front of the engine. They were used on CZ's but a few were modified for other brands. The picture that Jimmie posted is close but the tip made a 90 degree down turn and blew exhaust on the chain right after the front sprocket. I will see if I have a picture some where. Mine was the only one I ever saw. Very short manufactoring run.

A lot of the mini Elsinores used them as well. I remember seeing many in '77 and '78.

FWIW...
