That looks ike an old CHROME Yosh exhaust. Not many of those around!

To me it looks like my Kerker

A Kerker would be my guess to, but it's been awhile since I've seen a Yosh on a Z1. That'd be some serious $$$$$ if it were a chrome Yosh mounted on a legit Z1A!

If it has tits or tires, it'll give you problems!

Kerker head pipes curve underneath the engine to the right, before they merge into the collector.





These head pipes go straight back into the collector, a la Yosh and Bassani. Kerker had a race pipe that did this as well, but the head pipes were shaped differently.






Also notice the low and horizontal tailpipe heading to the rear. That looks like a chrome Yosh pipe. Sure would like to see more picks. Beautiful old Z1A.

Also looks like he has different rear springs as well as rearsets and mirrors.

My guess is a Yoshimura header too. I had a chrome yosh pipe for a 1000 back in the 70's and sold to a friend for $100. My Gram-pa's tube bending shop did a bid on making them and they never picked up the sample pipe.
