Title: Under seat mounted Zards? Post by: Skybarney on October 20, 2013, 02:59:58 PM The saga continues! After much fiddling about I have realized that the Rizoma rear sets and a stock mounting position for the side mounted Zards is not gonna cut it. It was just funky having too much pipe out behind the bracket.
So, I am trying to figure out a sweet way to turn my low mount Zards into a under seat twin exhaust. Much like the Spark exhaust in the pics below. Since this will be a full custom pipe I am wondering if routing it between the swing arm and the engine would be a good or bad idea. Will having a bunch of exhaust pipe near the shock screw it up? The sparks route the pipe outside the swing arm and it is a lot of pipe showing. I will likely ceramic coat the pipes satin black this winter. I had thought about getting the Sparks and using my cans but eight plus weeks is too long to wait!

Good luck. [beer] Title: Re: Under seat mounted Zards? Post by: Skybarney on October 20, 2013, 04:56:56 PM Keep telling myself I am done........ The rear sets I would have never purchased except I tipped it over in the garage (on a foam mat) and broke the stock rear set. It started a chain of money as I simply can't replace a stock part that easily failed with another stock part.
You are right though. When all is done I will have about 22k into her. I planned for 20k and if all goes as it should will be really really finished at 22k. Usually I fix vehicles up over time but I end up with a really nice worn out toy. This time I am "front loading" the mods. I plan to keep her for a very long time. Especially if it is the last air-cooled 1100 Monster. Can't wait to see the 2014 line-up! Title: Re: Under seat mounted Zards? Post by: geoffduc on October 22, 2013, 07:44:59 PM Sky I've seen and ridden Chris (desmoworld.de) 1100 EVO which has a Spark under seat system and it looks and sounds awesome, if I was modding an 1100 EVO for myself as a keeper that would be the set-up I'd fit, quality,fit and finish first class...
