KERKER on eBay
This new pipe is not quite period correct. I'm guessing there is no way to swap out the emblem?
I remember someone discussing this topic.
Anyone?

PS: I live in Winnipeg and cannot order the pipe from a Canadian dealer. They only bring KERKER's line of Harley pipes to Canada. Does that suck or what? How do they think they became the company they are today if not for Japanese superbikes in the 70's and 80's?

I realize it was the 70s/early 80s and there was lots of dope,but I just don't remember labels being riveted on those particular pipes

Naw...it is just you :laugh: . Just poking at you. However, are you perhaps remembering the 'Kawasaki by Kerker' exhaust systems? Those Kerkers had a metallic exhaust label that was not riveted, but rather, used some sort of adhesive.

Baldy, that is the era correct badge for your ELR pipe. That is what was coming out in the early 80s.
I'd think the pipe for the MKII should have the small Kerker cast badge on it.
This is one for my KZ550. The one with the sticker was on a 1000. That sticker is long gone.

Mine was pretty rough and I went looking for one. I searched for years and never found one. I ended up re-conditioning the one I had and using it.
Yeah, that is one of the ones I'm thinking of...and there is a fellow in Europe (possible Germany) doing reproductions of the vertical-lettered Kerker emblem.

:laugh: Kerkers are LOUD! I have one on my ZRX1200. Yup, real LOUD without the baffle... :pinch:
I never ride it without a baffle. the comp baffle sounds so RIGHT, just couldn't leave home without it.
