    Wow Mikaw, that header on that old Kaw is beauteous, and it must sound awesome too!

    Got my set new ten years ago when the 83 LTD exhaust needed replacing.  The 83 was purchased to replace the rusted out original soon after I got shafted in 2000. 
    Even then good economical options were difficult to choose from, and the V&H was "definitely not designed for a KZ1100", so I was told.  Besides that, I was sold on the chrome.

    That exhaust is most-definitely worth keeping, and worth taking good care of besides.

    Love the sound for the most part, but the loudness does get wearisome.  I try to stay just ahead of it usually, but sometimes it gets really loud...

    Quite often though, I wish there was another option to quiet it down besides turning the key off. 




    The mirror is handy for proper alignment, and I use it quite often.

    Open pipes are just plain obnoxious.

    Even my Bassani pipe with a 3 inch baffle is way quieter than an open pipe. I believe my AMA sound test was only 105db's with that baffle.

    We're not well versed at all on V&H systems.  Is the 13009-J for J-models?

    When we bought Z1BEBE's '75  Z1-B in 1991, it had an obnoxiously loud Kerker 4-1 sans baffle.  We replaced it with a V&H 4-1 street system.  She ran that system for one Ridin' season.  We found a good set of OEM 4-4's the next winter that replaced the V&H system.  The V&H system has been in storage ever since.  Might be fodder for this year's Mid-Ohio swap meet.

    Good Ridin'

    The V&H 13009J system appears to be an adaptation of the popular 70's design made to fit the 81-82 KZ1000-J model.

    As for fitting a KZ1100, the bike frames are similar forward the engine, but the meg mount required a slight bend and 2" extension rearward to align with the support.
