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!

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!

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... waytogo
