TOPIC:

just thought I would post a few pic's of new stainless steel exhaust I purchased for my ltd.. installation was super easy and straight forward.. used an older bracket off my old exhaust to mount the megaphone... took the quiet baffle insert out before installing... the exhaust has a really nice deep tone.. not tinny or obnoxious... personally I think it's a great value for the dollar's..... plus easy access to oil filter...

Looks great. Nice bike also. I like the red paint on the engine

I been lookin at that pipe, but I would like to install a modern can. Looks Good !

thanks pete!!! I like your exhaust,from what I can see looks like a star header????

Yessir !....Love that ol header, its just not going to work after my mods, really want that up-swept look.

Not a fan of the flared pipes. I like the header but need a straight muffler option.

What is the outside diameter of the mid-pipe ?

Whats the diameter of the downpipes?( headers?)

+2 Great price, the look of the megaphone leaves something to be desired. If it more closely resembled a Kerker that would be great. Too bad Kerker doesn't make a stainless pipe for the KZ1000.

Cool Vernon! Looking good man. Do you like it better than the V&H? I agree on the megaphone, it should have been built as a direct Kerker copy, without the joint in the middle. Looks like an afterthought. I can live with the double wall at the bell of the meg. They did that to keep it round when you ding it on something, like so many Kerkers have.
BTW, I have one of these on a '77 KZ, I haven't fired it up yet. I may be building a different style meg for it to copy the Kerker design.

yes, I definitely like better than v/hines pipe... just so much more of a quality built pipe... access to oil filter is now possible... the only negative I see is the megaphone being tilted out just a bit... could have been tucked in a little closer to the bike.. the pipe has quality design everywhere at half the kerker price and 100.00 cheaper than the vance/hines now... pipe sound's really nice with the quiet baffle insert removed... never even tried it with the insert installed.. best quality baffle you'll ever see for sure.... should be happy that we have the choice's we have as far as pipe's... there all good in there own way...
