Re: Kawasaki 1980 ZIR MK2
The headers are Kerker I think...but the tail pipe isn't,it sounds like a feckin moped, so its gotta go.
I already had a kerker badge that was put on the said pipe,to me it was like putting a Ford badge on a Holden.
Ordered 2 systems from 2 different US company's...they both stuffed me around as well....paid for the pipes only to be told there was nil stock.
Ended up getting it form ebay "link below" with the freight cost being $150.00.... the seller sent as a gift to cut down the cost.

Re: Kawasaki 1980 ZIR MK2
You are doing a great job with that rebuild
That black Kerker is a sweet looking pipe, I have been checking them out and keep putting off the purchase while I decide which way to go with my project. The Vance and Hines is a little cheaper but the Kerker sounds great, and the black is awesome.
I dont think it matters too much whether they write gift or not as we dont pay import tax under $1000
cheers

Re: Kawasaki 1980 ZIR MK2
The body work has been painted....came up a treat.
Now for the painstaking job of fitting the pin stripes, then having them clear coated over.
Heres a quick look.....
