I figure you guys (gals?) will appreciate this! B)

Got a new pipe built for my KZ1000 yesterday. It was a bit of a shock when my buddy asked if I was interested in have this done. It was a "no brainer" as far as I was concerned! :woohoo:


Here are some pics of the build and the finished product at the end:



























There u are! B)

Now we just hafta wait for Spring! :woohoo:

How's it sound? No heat shield for potential passengers? Is oil filter & oil drain plug access restricted?

Box it up, ship it down to me in Texas, I'll throw it on my 1000 and let you know what it sounds like and how it performs :woohoo:

Any potential passengers must have really short legs as the passenger pegs are super high! :laugh: My 3 yr old grandson would be a perfect fit! There wouldn't be any need for a heat shield! :)

It's a race-type pipe, so there is no oil/filter access without removing the pipe. It is a slip fit with spring retainers, so removal is a lot quicker/easier than bolt on pipes. :)

That would be nice, but I think I'll just wait! :laugh: I'm enjoying the view and I could fire it up in the garage if I want! :laugh:

Did your buddy make that? If he did he should be in the custom exhaust business! The fact that the muffler is parallel to the swingarm brace and brake pedal is a very nice detail. Ed

Me likee! Is your buddy going to make others? How much would he charge?

BTW your bike still looks killer. It's one of the bikes that inspired me to build mine. :)
