Dutchz Z1 road burner - new stuff

Thanks for posting the video. That pipe sounds perfect! I really think that exhaust is on of those cases where form follows function. Looks good, sounds good. We just discovered the form before the function. I think that the 4 into 1 sound is one of the KZ's most redeeming qualities. I know that seeing a video of jeffasaki's bike on youtube is one the things that got me motivated to put mine back together. Hope your knee feels better. I know that I would be dying to ride that bike. You are going to have to answer a lot of questions when you show up to a biker hangout on that thing.

Wholly crapola... That just sounds so wickedly sweet....
Music to the ears....

Have you had any chance to ride it based on previous mentioning of mid range flat spot (due to exhaust)?

Well done Dutch!... Seriously speaking, awesome...

OMR

That sounds fantastic! Hearing your bike gave me some renewed inspiration to get my bike completed. Thanks for that clip!

i had my knee cap removed completely. after a crash into the board, while playing hockey, the cap shattered .
It took me 2 years before i could touch my heal to my ars.
I realy felt it at the track on thurs. It is just not the same anymore. its ok but just not quite right .

How very Canadian Mark! I guess we both got jacked up playing our national sports :laugh:
I can get the back of my heel on my right peg, but that's it. Nowhere near ready to ride

Thanks guys, pipe does sound good, it growls! It sounds tinnier on the video than it does in real life. It's loud but not obnoxious - and less loud than my Yosh with no baffle. I'll take another outside that may help with the quality.

No ride yet OMR, hopefully soon!

You are spot on with the sound Testarossa these old 8 valve motors do have a great sound about them! I always remember the Goose scene in Mad Max where he peels out... That's a 4-2 but man...

must be a common injury, i popped my knee twice in two years, second time may have partially torn acl, still waiting to hear. Once it happens once its that much easier for it to happen again.

I love the bike Dutchz, probably one of my favorites on here and the pipe sounds great!

Sounds more like Kerker now.

Lean on the bottom.

Took off the CRS ...SHAME ON YOU :laugh:

:laugh: I knew I was gonna catch some flak from you. I would really like to make the VM29s work if I can, they just look so right on the bike. I had the air screws out a bit too far and the filters were off too, I can dial out the popping. May put in one size larger pilots. I did check the mains they are 127.5. I may try the 1.2 air correctors if Sudco has them, it didn't like the 1.5s up top. I think it has 0.9 or 1.0 fitted currently. I wanna throw it on the Dyno though before changing the jetting a lot... apples for apples.

We roughed out the left caliper hanger last night. Crappy cell phone pic:

And just for Leon, some even smaller a$$ tubing :laugh:

This should keep the plate from flapping around at 90mph.

hehe,brake out the brake line bender!
i was kinda wondering about it deforming at speed.
looks like you cured that:laugh: .
brakes look kick freakin a$$!
i can't wait to see what you whittle outta that chunk of aluminum you are using for a bracket.

leon

Yeah that was some fiddly stuff with all those small tubes. I also put an extra brace on the headlight side on the bracket.This is what it looks like off the bike:
