For a great deal on a Vance and Hines pipe speak to Jeff Saunders at Z1 ENTERPRISES in the U.S.A. :D :D

No worries my old china.
Jeff is a top bloke and does great deals on Z stuff,especially the V&H pipes.
Good choice of pipe,IMO the best 4-1 for the road :wink:

Welcome Buzzy, let's see a pic of the Z1R.
There is a section "How to post pics".
Four pipes rule, anything else is second best.

Buzzy, I think the only "mods" that may be required, would be re-jetting and this would be probably only one size up. You may want to fit air-pods and there again, it may require some larger jets. That's the only mods you have to consider with this fitting of the V&H exhaust. You may find, and I think most likely, that nothing is required.

Hiya Buzzy :wink:

Defo check out Z1 Enterprises, u can get a new V&H delivered for ?200 :shock:

As for carb tweeking, as Garn says, may have to got up a size or two :evil: as the standard pipes are quite restrictive compared to V&H :!:
And on the 7th day... Zeds were created!

Is that ?200 at the door or do you have to pay Duty and VAT on top of that?

Out of curiosity.

What are the cheapest systems that can be bought for a Zed?

Found this V+H price.
