Delkevic
The fit and finish is great. The collector is probably not gonna pass muster from the guys looking for all the ponies. Looks great on the outside but inside is not what I would call smooth. I have another one I’ll snap a picture. For a street bike it’s way more than good tho. Sounds great. Not too loud. I would actually like it a little quieter tho.
The stainless seems good too.

The Kerker I had was too quiet.

Also bought a Delkevic when the Kerker finally rusted out.
Have to piece together the Delkevic.
You can change the oil with it on.
No center stand on my bike, so can't say if that's retained.

This week:

Seat refinished at Super Upholstery Team
Turnsignals installed and wiring mostly finalized. Thanks to Joe at cycleterminal.com who set me up with a great crimper and connectors.
Russel's Speed Shop in Birmingham AL installed my RaceTech Springs and Gold Valves.
TrueDisk LLC cut and drilled the rotor for my next mod (17" laced wheels)
You can see how much larger the kz650 rotor is compared the one for my CB550

Oh and the Delkevic is too loud for me. Custom muffler to come.
