is a true underseat possible on my Racer?

Why not spend the money on a custom system on a bespoke shock instead, that way you get the rear ride height and a decent shock.


P.s a GP style system would be easy enough but dunno how it would flow!

Come on, do you really think that people are just going to be satisfied by a pipe that resmembles some sort of Frankenstein drainpipe???

Personally on a track / race bike, I wouldnt give a monkies what it looked like, I'd be looking for power gains rather than having a nice shiney pipe that looked nice but made the bike make less BHP than the standard exhaust did.

Hmmm, if you're going to send the pipe around the swingarm and up (easy way!) then it will weigh a ton and you may end up with bother with tyre clearance etc.

Also pipe will have to take quite a bend upwards, similar setup on my micron system gave issues when fitting rearsets.

Agree with YC on this one, never seen a good zorstec system, form over function unfortunately, link pipes etc are not a problem and you gotta try pretty hard to mess it up, but their systems aren't great.
Mark Hill makes race systems for race bikes that work.

Dunno, maybe they can make one that works properly, but I'd use a proper sports system.

any pics of your progress mate?

Il post some up in the morning I'm liking this info chaps I don't know much about engines and race bikes so it's good to get for and against points of view
Il get some pics up and show you what I was thinking

Cheers.

I spoke to the guy at zorstek and he says that a gp style system won't lower the standard bhp which Im happy with so long as the price is right I'm not paying stupid odds. If there was a full arrow system around the Same price I'd have that instead LOL... Just in two minds.. It would look flash but like fizz points out is there any point on a racer??

Nope no point....what a waste of money. Get an M4 and buy some useful stuff instead.

Yeah I'd do that.

Are M4 systems the best you can buy for the sv?
You are right though I wanted underseat for damage limitation and weight distribution not to show off. I've got most of the fixer front end now so just need a better rear shock . .. The k5 thou should be sufficient any other choices?
