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

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!

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:

I'm kind of surprised OMR said the access is retained.
Nice looking bike BTW.

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...

This is a Sidewinder and there are clearance issues.
The pipe you have seems to have as much room as my V+H header.

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!
