Muffler came from Ali :whistle: have no idea for which bike.
Only thing I knew was that Delkevic headers would fit but did not like their muffler.
The exhaust I like most is from Moto Gp Works, so if I find a muffler which looks like that I will buy it.
(they did not sell the muffler on itself, only whole exhaust(does not fit in suitcase))
Until then I have to find/make a mid piece to connect Ali with Delkevic.

Took the neutral switch out and checked that it was broken, put it back in and was about to order a new one but it repaired itself :lol:
Put the chain on and checked that the clutch is working also.
I can put it in first gear but not in second, don't know if this is normal for an engine not running.

Can not believe it was that easy.
It will need some adjustments but I am a happy camper.

Thanks guys for all the support so far.

About the muffler.

I can make something at a friend of mine but than I won't have my bike with me for test fitting.



And when I am at my bike and it does not fit I don't have the tools to adjust it :(
Most stuff from Ali is for mopeds and scooters and the diameter is 54mm and my collector is 63,5mm.
But I have all the stuff I need now to make the connection.

Also after starting I had some minor leaks :S






Head gasket, oil pressure switch and exit of generator cables.
The last 2 I can fix but the first one sucks.

Wow!! It looks fantastic.Well done Eric. I have heard that the point where the wires exit the generator are a weak spot on a lot of bikes.Not just Zs and not even just Kawasakis. Mine was loaded with some sort of silicone kit.I cleaned it out and put on a fresh gasket.I havent thought to check it yet.
As for the exhaust, What about making the ends of your midsection,slightly oversize,cut a slot in them and clamp them on with jubilee clips.Then wrap it up with a bit of exhaust wrap.Not perfect but it shou;ld do to get you on the road and last until you can find a better solution.
Good luck with it.
