KERKER for my MKII

Sorry....Newbie tag..... :blush: still has plastic on it....lol

D'oh!! That's got ta come oft there, KZ1000.
I'm working on getting some small badges CnC machined that look similar to the cast badge I pictured earlier.
My ZRX Kerkers have that HUGE by HUGE badge on them too. I'm all about Old Skool. Lol.

How do you like the Kerker so far, compared to the VH?

i gave a old school kerker away a few months ago that had the small emblem.

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.

I too heard the rumors of some guy in Europe making the replica decals. After searching for this elusive guy for 10 years I never found him and gave up.
Even with a baffle mine is loud although it does have the race baffle in it. To me it sounds like music but maybe it's "loud" to other people.

I havent got to ride version 2.0 yet.....winter project ya know. Waiting for Ohio to spit out a ride day. Makes the bike look way cool over the VH.

Thanks to Brian - KZ10006 for the parts.

BlackZ1R wanted to see some pics:

Thanks for all the replies guys!

real nice bike....just looks nos....dosent look like a resto

Nut and bolt, piece by pice resto that tooks me years and gave me grey hair. NOS seat was a rare find. Gauges by Z-Resto.

Search my User ID and see the post about the project. It was a nightmare at times but she's my fave.

My MKII is getting a new tin makeover (going to blue from red) and the Kerker plus some other cosmetics. It too has a NOS seat. Pictures soon come!

Are kerker's known for low end torque.....rode bike today and it seemed to run much better though all power bands but noticed low end and overall ridability along with idle was improved. The sound was cool as hell over the sidewinder.....really stoked.

No they are not, they are known to boost the top end as most 4 into 1 pipes are.

Well compared to that sidewinder Im sure it feels stronger in the low/midrange! :woohoo:

Yes, compared to a V&H Sidewinder, the Kerker will have better low to midrange response!!! That Sidewinder is a drag pipe. That's all it's designed for. The Kerker is designed for a broader range of street/strip/touring type performance.

Kerker is a better street pipe than the V&H Sidewinder,

How's that for a simple answer? :whistle: :laugh: :evil:
