That bike is purdy ! I haven't rode a bike that high off the ground in years. It is still purdy though.

Have for many years used the mini rubber motor mounts to attach the mufflers on both Z1 and KZ900, which isolate the frame from exhaust system vibration.
The little rubber mounts have proved to be surprisingly durable.
It makes a very noticeable difference in reducing vibration felt by the rider.
The custom attachment brackets are very easy to fabricate, using a piece of strap metal.
Good Fortune!

This is the only picture that I have of the rear, it's attached to the rear footpeg mount. I did change that side footpeg to different year footpeg. So the passengers shoe would not hit the header.

You must be a shorty... Being 6'2" 200 lbs if were any lower I'd feel like I was on a mini bike.

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationWould think the Mac 4>2 would also fit LTD at exhaust ports in the normal manner, and require simple DIY brackets extending from the stock mount holes on each side to attach the mufflers.
