Thanks mate, good enough for me (would have to be compared to original mufflers!!)

Slimey,

Able to give me a (sound) report on the Delkevic pipes yet?

Thanks mate, good luck with the electrics!!!!

Slimey, pipes look good, am looking to put on my '77 Z1000. Could you post your thoughts re sound once up and running?

Thanks SteveW, have just ordered, lets see if the old Zed improves!!!

Gents,
Time to replace (original) shockies on the '77, Z1000, got into corner little bit hot and I struggled when the rear started wallowing. Looking at Ikon 7610 series, price seems ok, any experience out there with them?

Ok, just checked, my mistake, breather tube comes into air box AFTER the air filter so maybe indicates a filter is required?

'77 Z1000, have removed carbies and air box, K&N pods on new Keihin carbs.

What to do about crancase breather tube? Internal of air box very clean so no issues with oil/sludge, I think breather filter is unnecessary. Thought I might run stiff tube 2 or 3 inches straight up (to let any oil mist ...

Thanks Gos, is there anything you havent come across with these beasts? I am learning every day!!!! Could be worse I suppose, could be a 70's Norton Commando!!!!

Hey Kwakked Up, just fitting Keinin carbs with K&N pods similar to yours, been told that side covers may blow off due to turbulence created when original air box stuff removed to make room for the pods. Have you had this problem and if so how did you fix?

I figure drill small hole in the bits that ...

Thanks mate, no worries just shit stirring you a bit, I was hoping the Z900 light would look so good I would decide 'Yep, thats the one' but now it has made the decision a hard one. Was it easier to fit onto the eliminator than the Z1000 light? Considering I have the Z1000 and it does seem to fill ...

What's happening with the Tail light mate, you know I am waiting to see the finished job so I can make up my mind!!!!!!
I have already decided to put the fender eliminator on but will be a job for the cold wet months in winter, also new carbies going in, I have given up on the leaking heaps of shit ...

Well, have kept the original pipes, Terry at Redline Exhausts has worked his magic on the original mufflers and am very happy with the sound and performance. Would recommend him to all (if you're in Adelaide) and price was excellent.

Thanks mate, the picture is enough to give me an idea of the look, much appreciated. I had been thinking about it and like Gos thought that maybe the 900 oval tail light would look better tucked up into the ducktail than the original, more thinking and decisions too make

Doing it is easy, deciding ...

Kwakked Up, have been pondering on my '77 Z1000 whether to cut away half of rear mudguard, install new LED strip brake light under ducktail top edge and make new number plate bracket and suddenly your picture pops up showing mudguard taken off. Can you post photo of rear of bike which will give me ...
