The "chrome" one you speak of is Titanium too. Theres an english site, I just linked the japanes one so you could see the price.

Sorry about that - I was editing my "chrome" to "titanium" as you were writing this. Now there's no "chrome" reference and people will wonder what you're talking about! :laugh: I checked out the English site too - like you said, no prices, but there is a contact link. Maybe Jeff at Z1E could order from them. He gets stuff from PMC Japan all the time.

I would love to have one of those, but being that expensive, I don't think I could take it if I dented it!:blink: :laugh:

I'm in love, I'll get one eventually, when I can afford it and everything else I ever wanted to do to my bike is done.

At 95Yen/$US they can keep it. It is not bent but angle welded. This makes for a very turbulent flow. This pipe is made as a status symbol only and not performance. I would much rather use the MAC pipe and get the modern performance it is designed fore. Or bend myself a new tail pipe for a Kerker header. Y250,000 = $2600 + postage. I guess the postage at another $400+

That one maybe, but this one is the real deal. Full hand bent titanium system, all flowing bends, no welds. Thats the one I'm after.

That is also Y250,000 or about $2600US+post$400. Boy I'm glad that there are still some wealthy Americans around when many of us a re unemployed. :ohmy: That pipe is the modern equivalent of the series III. and is what MAC is coming out with for the competition pipe. Boy I can buy another bike for the price that it would cost to get the Jap repro pipe and still have money left over for some good old American made Hi-Po parts.

I wont be getting it any time soon, I'm still a student, but instead of buying a sportbike when I graduate I'm just gonna do whatever I want with my KZ.

This one looks very similar to the titanium but is only about 1/3 the price at $1100 with no extra for shipping if ordered through Z1E. It is SS though, not titanium - still very cool looking and not that out of line considering the $750 price of a Kerker these days:

Otakar - any idea on the MAC pricing for the new pipes? I think it's a fantastic idea to build new parts for these classic motorcycles. There is a big market out there - there are plenty of us KZ nuts here in the U.S.!

Our only choices for new pipes right now are the old style MAC, the street version Kerker, or the V&H. A Yoshi Styled MAC would be killer, I think.

Is that one a PMC?

I had a z1 r back in the day that had a keker k series. looked almost identical to the yoshi pipe.maybe the baffle was just a bit longer.good pipe, did not drag the ground in turns.I also had a kerker on a 900 f honda {sorry] that would drag all the time. always rewelding it.I have a old style kerker for my 1100 gpz. looking to maybe put a supertrapp disc style silencer on it and redo some of the bend at collector to turn it up a little? do all kerkers have a 2.5 inch collector?

Yes - PMC. They have several styles and all of them look awesome. I just haven't been able to pull the trigger on that much cash...

Probably looked like this one? No crazy bend for filter clearance...
