To keep them in that condition theres no way their original, used and over 40+ years old, even if you had a delorean time machine you'd struggle! I wont even comment on the price, suffice to say its taking the P#ss to the extreme.
Ive just bought a 4 into 4 set from Zpower repos, chromes excellent and whilst not original Kawasaki their almost as good as! Not cheap of course but what Z parts are?
Besides due to age of parts and the rarity if found, spurious condition using repos is the only way to keep these machines on the road

They’re 10% cheaper from Z-Power for PUMs… which helps :D

Yes as you say the £10% is a definate bonus. Not sure who makes the Zpower ones Doremi? But they are well made and look to be made of decent metal due to weight def not tinny.
I have noticed a set of Delkevics own on ebay, which look similar.
No idea of quality, but several years ago i restored a Suzuki GT750 and bought a set of 3 into 4 exhausts from Delkevic, they were very well made and cheaper as supposed to be 2nds, there was the tiniest of marks on 2 of the pipes almost pin prick size and got them half price an absolute bargain. My point if they sell them cheap for such a minor defect it shows how good there quality and standards must be
So may be worth a look, whether as good as the Zpower ones?

Sorry but I don't agree... I have a KZ900 that came with the original stock exhausts in my collection. It came to Europe wih a couple of thousands of miles on it, since then it has been in 3 collections, including mine. It still has the same mileage as mentioned on the US Owner Certificat. They are more than 45 years old and look brand spanking new, inside and out. But all in all it's only a tiny small chance to find such a set, I agree.

There was an article about Delkevic and their replica pipes in the Yearbook a couple of issues ago.
