Header and Seat for KZ1000 Police???

A friend of mine just bought a 96 KZ1000 Police bike and has asked me about a header and dual seat for it. He's pretty much computer illiterate, so I told him I'd ask around on KZ rider.

Is there a 4-into-1 header available for the police bikes? Is there a bolt on 2-up seat replacement available?

Thanks!

i don't know about the seat but any of the readily avalible headers will fit you just might have to modify things like mounts. to get it to work proper. as far as the seat what style is he looking for. i haven't got any experiance with the cop bikes as far as seats go but the haeders all mount up pretty much the same. kerker, vance+hines, supertrapp, and the really cheap mac.

I don't know why I keep getting logged out of the forum everytime I try to reply.

So the 1996 head is still the same as the 1981 "J" bikes? I wasn't sure about that. I'm also wondering if the header will clear the floor boards and the mounts for the rear bags.

He just wants a regular 2-person seat instead of the solo saddle. I've seen a lot of custom seats but don't know if they make one specifically for it.

I've owned a whole bunch of different KZ's over the years, but never a police bike. They sure seem very popular though.

I'm pretty sure there is no bolt on solution. What you see above is what most of us have done. It's kinda nice cuz you can take it off when you want. I personally like my bike better without the rear seat but sometimes you HAVE to take the old lady for a ride. I'm not saying he couldn't make something fit, but he would have to MAKE IT FIT.

Does anyone know of anybody that has a 4-into-1 header on a police bike?

Anybody here have a header of their police bike? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

My friend is working on his police bike again now that the weather has FINALLY broken here in OH so I thought I'd bring this old thread back to life...

The header situation is taken care of, but the seat issue has us stumped. He wants a regular king and queen seat but we've had no luck. I did find a place that sells custom passenger pads but the prices are ridiculous.

Is there a certain year / style seat that might be more easily adaptable? If we can find something close I'm sure we can mod it and / or weld new hinges or whatever. Just not sure where to start. Any ideas??

Thanks

I just read on another forum that a CSR 1000 seat bolts right up - perfect fit with no mods. Is that possible?? Anyone heard of this??

Yes, I've heard that a CSR seat will mount up on the KZp before but have never seen it. The seat on my bike is from a HD Softail I found at a swapmeet.

Another thing you have to consider is the passenger footpegs. I just welded some slugs to the frame and installed aftermarket pegs on there.

What exhaust system did your friend use on his KZP Police bike? I have a 1995 KZP 1000 Police bike and I'm looking for a 4 into 1 exhaust system for it. Thanks for any help.
