Nico Bakker 4 into 1

Hello,

Bought a Nico Bakker 4 into 1 from a member on here a year or so ago. I'd like to know more about this pipe. It's in really good shape.

The collector/can assembly is pretty heavy, but it appears to be one of a kind.

Each head pipe has a part number and what cylinder it's for stamped into it. Also, the collector/can assembly has a part number stamped into it.

I have not fitted it on a bike yet.

It appears to have never been fitted or if it was, for a very very short time. Gold aluminum can that has the "Nico Bakker Holland Research" tag still in perfect shape. The collector and head pipes are all finished in gloss black.

Any help is appreciated.

Contacted the people at Bakker and they said they did make the exhaust back in the late 70's/early 80's, but have no information anymore on them.

Thanks,

Tim

Can't help with any info but look forward to hearing about the history of these pipes.

How about a pic?

A while ago I saw a Bakker-framed Z1000 at the stand of the Dutch Kawasaki club at a bike show. IIRC it is owned by Willem Hendriks. He sells classic Kawasaki parts at www.classickawaparts.nl/
If it isn't his, he can tell whose it is. He will probably be able to tell you anything you need to know. Otherwise try the 'Kawasaki Merkclub Nederland' www.kawasakimerkclub.eu/ . While you're there, check out the specials. There are some great bikes there.

Wish I knew Dutch/Norwegian/etc.

I will get some pictures taken of it tonight and get them posted.

wtf?

I think uncle Craigy has been hitting the sauce again

Gershom,
There's a 99.9% chance they'll speak English, after all: they're Dutch. Being a trading and transshipment nation the Dutch speak at least two, usually three or four languages. At least everyone I know does. Send 'm an email, and I am sure they will go out of their way to help.

I second that. :laugh: You can also try google translator, this is off the homepage of the classic parts website (see below) and the translation is decent enough to read. If you really get stuck on a single significant paragraph about PM me.
