Frame differences

[Scuffy1966]

Morning everyone,
I’m after a bit of advice from any knowledgeable Zed nerds willing to enlighten me.
I have a beautiful mongrel Z1000 which has a Ltd frame and a a1 engine. It was imported from the US and registered in 1989 over here. Over the last 4 years I’m sorting it to how I want it. What is the difference in frames regarding mounting exhaust silencer around the foot rest area as I am looking to buy a Delkevic ceramic black system, classic straight silencer type. I want the system to tuck in under the engine and sweep out and up around the rear foot peg,(I’m not worried about having pillion foot rests so I can remove from the mountings). The picture of the Ltd on the Delkevic website shows a system which runs practicality horizontal to the ground and one of the A1/2 with the silencer sweeping up as I want. I’ve just sold a Vance and Hines system to a grateful member in Ireland which was not my cup of tea.
So to cut a long story short, are all the frames similar with regard to silencer mounting positions and if it’s different, then how. I currently have a Harris (from a Gpz1100) fitted which I am going to modify slightly to lift it as previously stated. Does anyone know a good tig welder around south/west yorks

Grateful of any guidance given
Steve

Standard Z1000A1 with Standard 'zorsts. Exhaust mount differences are pretty obvious...

Lovely bike you have. I don’t think the B rear hangers are that different from the others (Z1 through Z9). The actual LTd exhausts probably hang lower. I know a guy who bought a very nice mongrel recently and it had a Delkevic, can’t say if it had been modified I didn’t look that closely but looked pretty stock.

BTW does anyone recognise this bike , the current owner has no idea of the history but someone has done a nice job on it.

Thanks for the meaningful reply Chris, I'm glad you knew what I was trying to get at. It would appear that the 1000 Ltd and Z1/900 have very similar rear droppers (wider angle wise) as I've previously tried looking at different model diagrams etc but nothings clear and I wasn't sure if mine had been chopped and modded. I'm pretty confident that if I spend £460 on the exhaust, then it's going to fit now. By the way that seat looks well, I've tried and tried to get a decent twofour/ guilari but to no avail. I got a ELR from zed power but it's not the late 1970s same.
Thanks again Chris

To be honest the Giuliari is one of the things on that bike I don’t like, I think a slightly cut down standard seat looks better. The bloke is actually talking about changing it for something like that.
