Manley valves

Besides APE, anyone know a good alternative source for Manley valves? APE is out of stock and I need a 30mm Manley stainless exhaust valve for KZ9900/1000

Try Joe @ Pit Stop Performance.

Next bet would be the other re-sellers - Dynoman, Z1 Ent, Schnitz, Star Racing. Any of them might still have stock available.

How quick does your 77 go - BTW?

Kibbelwhite makes stainless valves

Tried Ape, Schnitz, Z1, Star, Dynonan. no luck. I'll try pit stop thanks.

Bike should run 11.0 with this head installed.

The head I'm using has all Manley valves. I don't want one different valve.

Awesome!

I was hoping for 11.5's @ 120 with my new street beater KZ/GPz (Wiseco 1170, etc...), but it doesn't look like I'll make any passes at all this year...maybe next season, I hope.

I would think it would run better than that.

I agree!
I'm no semi-pro drag racer but my nearly stock 77' KZ1000a would run 1320's at just at or under 12.00 seconds fairly consistently.
I even had one stellar ride with an 11.67 et.
My only mods were:
A 14 tooth counter shaft sprocket and 35 tooth rear wheel sprocket, Denco headers, properly jetted carbs and over the counter Dyna III electronic ignition system.

With a Dyna-s, Accel coils, weiseco header, 29 mikuni flat slides my 1075 ran 12.30s @ 108 all day long, which is about 3.5 tenths slower than it should. Stock cams are a huge limiting factor.

Mid to high 12.0's was quite average ETs for a these stock'ish KZ1000's and non semi/pro riders in Detroit, MI.
My advantage was, back then, I was screwing around with riding a semi-drag bike Kaw H2 750, so I learned how to really get a good launch on a motorcycle and I weighed in at around 132lbs dressed and in leathers with helmet!!
I've only taken my 77' KZ1000a to drag strip three times. It was my main transportation ride!
But I think with a few weeks practice on my slightly modded KZ and a better rear tire, I could've have ridden it consistently in the high 11.70's back then.
Your modded bike should go faster then mine ever did.

Just ordered a new 15T sprocket. Dog off the line with the 16 and my 130 tire. :dry: Great on the HWY though. :whistle:

Hmmmm..... yeah I'm still on the fence about trying that 16/35 combo Steve.
The 15/35 is just a pinch lower then the stock 15/32.... I'm not sure I can feel the difference.
I certainly can feel the 14/35!!
