No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationSeen this pipe out for the 1st time 4 into 1 Z1 - KZ900 - KZ1000..
All 4 tubes flat under the engine and frame. Xtra 1 -1/2" clearance, Clerance.
Great for low riding Hot Rod's or drag bikes.
Have you seen the crazy price for New Chrome Kerkers?? !!!!!!! The Harley Pipe people Samson ( I believe? ) bought the rights to the Kerker
header Not sure, but it was another manufacturer that makes HD pipes.
My 1st Chrome Kerker was $149.99 at Heblers Kawasaki in Pendelton, NY in 1977! Which was a lot too! Seeing I was making $2.15 an hour

I wonder how tight it tucks up under the sump? That low profile collector will go to waste if there is several inches of clearance between the sump and the pipe like so many other aftermarket headers.
The 4:2:1 design should boost midrange anyway.

Yeah I've seen the price of the new kerkers with delkevic and motogpweks out there is no purpose to a near $1,000 pipe for these old relics.

That looks like a pretty cool looking pipe, someone needs to buy one and install it immediately posting pictures so we can see how tightly it hugs the engine and frame. Some I've seen look petty ridiculous with how far they hang below the bike.
For value for money the V&H ones still take some beating IMO, but I do like that canister style. I agree spending about a $1,000 on an exhaust for old bikes like these makes no sense, when you consider the cost of the bike and it's value even with such upgrades.

Vance and Hines sidewinder drag pipe gives the most ground clearance, but ya gotta mod the brake pedal. And you have a bit less cornering clearance but hasn't been a problem for me.
