Hi All
New to the Club and posts.
Does anyone know where I might get a decent exhaust collector box for my 1978 Z1R. Existing one is in a right state and unrepairable.
Currently has non-standard 4 into 1
Any pointers would be gratefully received.
Thanks

Lawrence

In what way is damaged, can you show any pictures?

Hi,
Thanks for response.
When I get home, I will sort some photos.
I have got a mate who is an Aeronautical welder to have a look at it, and he tells me it is so thin and full of hole / splits, it is completely shot, but happy to get other opinions.

Here are some photos of existing box...A sorry state

Iv see worse.. the reason i asked is that these are like rocking horse shite, as in they are rare and expensive, its often better to fix what you have, unless you are going for a show type bike, painted black the the side panels on you wont see any of that but thats the thing about bikes like this, you will know its like that but if its perforated its an issue.

Thanks again for coming back to me. It has got a lot of perforations and holes and not sure what if any baffles are inside. To use it, I think it might need to be completely re fabricated. That is going to be expensive, but I will ask.

Thanks again

i have a collector box but it was cut by the previous owner for what reason i do not know, the box its self is solid but the corner is missing as you can see.

It's got to be better than what I have. Do you want to sell it, and if so how much?

To be honest i never gave much thought in selling it, it came with a rear silencer in perfect condition, I was trying to find a better collector but just gave up, just so you know though im on the west coast of Ireland, do you know anyone over here?

Any idea how I would buy it?

You'd need to sign up on the site, it's safe. No idea about postage, customs charges though. The last time I highlighted one, a dated rim, in the end I bought it and had it smuggled back at the Z1OC chap's expense (PUM) and then reposted when it was in the UK, took some time though.Same with Gus' carbs

Dont know if you are still looking but i just spotted this in Germany, 280 euro.

Rare as hens teeth these days.

It appears you need to register (including supplying phone number) to get onto the site, and it won't accept phone number from UK.
