They say it's road legal and within sound limits, which is a little disappointing as i wasn't to hear the bike. Plus they aren't too concerned about voice from bikes in QLD (yet) so i should get a way with it.boatdrinks wrote: I would cross reference the part number they give with the V&H web site before pulling the trigger. As far as installation, I have one of these on my 78 650. Easy to install!
do the baffles come out so they can be modified?

Too late
Bought the pipe and it turned up in Aus in around 4-5 days later (over a weekend also!!)
Fitted OK with a very minor drilling of the mounting hole to fit my larger bolt through.
Looks and sounds awesome and for $350 USD I recon was a bargain

Mind you it was a fairly easy one as it had only done 12,000 miles and had been stored well so all chrome was like new (including wheels)
so just paint and elbow grease (mainly rubbing down yellowing forks) really
oh and top end rebuild but hey it was worth it as it goes like stink now
went out on ride with the boys on their modern stuff and had no problem keeping up.
i miss my Hypermotard less and less every time i ride the Zed

You have to remove the whole thing to change the oil filter.
