Z1000 a1 exhausts?

buy a set off an ltd and stick some decent silencers on, that would be a cheaper option for now. personally i just wouldnt want an unobtainable exhaust system on a bike that i ride, a simple drop from the stand would be priceless, what a head doer.

Those look great from Japan webike,

Probably the nearest I'm going to get.... Anyone know if they would fit onto my origional down pipes if I cut the old cans off (would the brackets be in the right place and would the creases accommodate the side stand etc.)

no chance z1r pipes are to fit to a collector box not down pipes take some major welding to seal. :shock:

Have a look at this site, not original but sounds like a good copy

Original A1/2 pipes are made of unobtanium - to give you an idea a NOS set sold a few months ago for Â£1700.

A few people have gone down the Z1 4x4 route which while not original looks much better than some of the hideous Harris style 4-1's you see on some Thou's..

I couldn't disagree more. Back in the day a huge percentage of Zeddists ditched the ugly standard systems as they sounded crap.

I have Harris pipes on my nine and thou, through choice! Nothing sounds as nice as a Harris with a packed comp baffle. They look and sound lush :drool

, though I will concede that the build quality is and has always been, deplorable :evil:

Zeds need nice open pipes to breathe :twisted:

Don't be choking 'em just to please nanny state :lol:

If you can’t get originals try Zedrider for a reproduction set

Hi Simon

take a look at the website of bazar de la becane in Dunkirk , France, a replica exhaust for a Z1000A1 costs 1350 Euro.
He assured me a few months ago that they fit and look like the original ones.
I think he understands enough English to help you. I can't say anything about the quality of the exhaust...give it a try.
Good luck !
Greetings from Belgium

The Dunkirk exhausts have been on the radar for quite a while now,i know a couple of our well known suppliers have tried in vain(plus me) to get more detailed info on these,all that there is ,is a pic on the website.Paying out that much would need to see a set or have a talk with some one who has purchased a set,pity....

Aha! I stumbled across them too and fired off an email - no reply yet.
Like you say, hard to tell from the photos how good they would be.

I contacted Roy at OSpipes ane he said it's £860 for a full 4/2 stainless system including mounting brackets. However, he says he no longer has the jog to make the down pipes so he would need a bike there for a week to make them up. Said he would then make a jig up for any future orders...

Is he still going? must be as old as a conker tree by now,saying that he made me a set of silencersfor a Gs a few years back,well good,made a mate a set of silencers for thou that were pretty close but used the old down pipes,would be very interested to see if his down pipes match the original profile?

Hi there
Anyone had any Z1000 A1 pipes from Ospipes recently?
Any photos?

I have a stainless Harris replica I commisioned from Exhaust craft in Whitehaven but bit too derestricted, too noisey. So need new exhaust system.

Looking for 4 into 2. Doesn't have to be exact but in same style as OEM

Thanks

David
