I thought i would show a pic of the bike wth the tank and seat on to start with

The bike came with a very battered laser exhaust. so I need to decide on a new one. All my Zeds in the past were fitted with a Harris but this time I would like something different.
What do you guys think would be good ?

Hi ztig! Dont be tempted to fit a Kerker - they dont fit! I tried to graft the one from my Z1000r on to my GPz A3 to get it through its MOT as my Harris was so loud.....

The bottom mount on the rear suspension is exactly where the silencer would connect to the downpipes!

PS as someone with a Unitrak you don't have a spare generator rotor you want to get rid of?

Had a micron exhaust on my GPZ900 look good but a end can was a bit long i thought.

Thanks for the offer I did see your ad but I'm not sure the V&H exhaust suits the lines of the GPZ.

what do you guys think of the V&H exhaust ?

I have had a good luck in the box of spares that came with the bike sorry no generator rotor

Are these difficult to get hold of ?

The question that everyone with a Unitrak asks! :lol:

Incidentally, if anyone has got a spare gennie rotor & windings... :wink:

I have a spare generator windings I can let you have for a few beer vouchers. Ping me a pm for a price. I got recommended to Electrex World near Reading by Z Power for the rotor which they had in stock for Ã‚Â£120 + VAT.

It looks different from the one that came (fell) off although the guy assures me they fit where it matters! I'll fit it this weekend and let you know how I get on.

Z-power will flog you a new rotor for Ã‚Â£350!!!

first pic shows the right hand side with the nice blue paint on and the left hand side once most the paint had been stripped off

second pic polished and finished

looking good, keep the pic's coming

Frame is know black

I put the tank and seat back on to see the look

taking the tank and side panel stickers off was easy just used a bit of heat from a paint stripper gun just to warm up the glue and they came off no problem

What would be the best place to get a battery from, is there anywhere on the internet you guys could recommend ?
