Hey jimbo! That shift lever points straight forward on my bike. Of course, it all depends exactly where your left footpeg ends up.

Sorry, Matt.. Been busy with a project lately, combined with cold rainy weather, makes going out into my unheated tiny workshop fun times. I do remember that this exhaust doesn't have near the ground clearance that the stock exhaust has.. Probably around 6" or less. Also it did make my craftsman motorcycle jack unusable, although I normally use my center stand anyway.


I think weather will be nice today. I might get the bike out for some therapy. :-)

I don't have the stock exhaust, I believe it is a mac 4-1, it has about as much clearance to the oil pan as your picture shows. So probably similar height. If you get a chance for actual numbers I would appreciate it, otherwise I think I can imagine the ground clearance.

Thanks,
Matt

Hey Matt.. I'm thinking MY actual numbers don't matter anyhow, since the height changes with the riders weight, angle of attack, and suspension. (I don't have anyone here to measure while I sit) You need to build a ramp or somehow prevent your bike exhaust from scraping.



I apologies to Jimbo for blatantly hijacking his thread. LOL

No worries gents, I appreciate the discussion.

My KZ900 shifter was straight forward as well, and my brake pedal.
I just slapped them on to test fitment, they will be adjusted.

This is just a quick and dirty slap together on this bike, because I just want to ride a KZ again. It will get cleaned up down the road and I'm fine with that, but man, looking at everyones great looking bikes sure makes me jealous. Nice rides fellas.
