ground clearance under exhaust collector

Hello guys,
have a Japanese 4 into 1 system with collector directly under right side foot peg (you can get a look at it on my profile,just), collector hits ground when leaning over to right side,cant be easily modified. What do you guys find in the way of your exhausts for ground clearance? I am looking at a Kerker but want to retain oil filter access and centre stand, what do you recommend???

Cheers & Merry Christmas

That looks a sidewinder exhaust. It's made for drag racing and not cornering. Go with the Kerker, you'll love it! I don't know of a performance exhaust that you can retain the center stand.

This is a Sidewinder and there are clearance issues.

The pipe you have seems to have as much room as my V+H header.

I like my bikes low and run shorter suspension.

Are you running stock shocks? Roy

The Kerker allows for oil and filter drain/removals...

Yes, and fwiw, easier that V&H.

Good Luck!

Depending on the particular 4>1 exhaust system involved, am thinking a center-stand "stop" when retracted may be fabricated.

But some folks are put off by the look of a retracted center-stand sticking out the left side like some kind of mutated appendage. :laugh:

Good Luck!

Now for the kz750 the oil maintenance access for my Kerker is not retained. To change oil or filter I have to remove the entire unit. In my quest for a 4-2-1 years back there was one company(Remus)offering a zephyr kit that was an option to start as a base. I would have had to modify it for the Gpz frame and canister of choice.

I'm kind of surprised OMR said the access is retained.

Nice looking bike BTW.

Was speaking in regards to the 900/1000 series..

I didn't see his specs nor your 750 so my bad...

No fault here... Just supise your able on any 4-1 that slings under the bike. Even on my sig picture you can see the collector.

Were talking about a KZ900 correct?

My collector rests just under the filter access and the oil plug is blocked (from full removal) by the #1 header pipe.

PIMA BTW. My best option is building a pipe from scratch, but as many things this is low on the priority list.

On my KZ900 with the Kerker Megaphone series... I can remove the oil filter without having to remove nor loosen the exhaust system...

Hi Roy,

YES, standard length Ikons, might have to try and find something longer to lift it up a bit. I do a few trips on him so need to keep the centre stand for access to remove wheels etc for punctures etc OR modify this exhaust!
