MKII silencers - 2 original types?

#1 PostAuthor: FreddaAbborre » Wed Nov 02, 2011 8:36 pm

I've seen that the exhaust on my MKII is a bit different compared to most pictures of MKII.

those exhausts on Your MK2 are not original they are after market
the exhausts on the Red MK2 are correct and were the only type fitted to that model
way too many Zeds

And there was no difference between different markets?

Can my silencers be off a different Kawasaki? These are similur:

Thats because of the lovely brownish stylish color...

They are extremely simular to these:

Stamped CM51-D and CM51-S.
Said to be of a original Z1100, and if the MKII at some models was sold with Z1100 mufflers, I maybe thought to buy them just because they are nice to have for a future restoration.

Great for that many answers. They are sold as NOS Kawasaki-mufflers, but then I will reconsider my thoughts of buying them.
