Step 1

Cut this crap off

Step 2

Grind to desired shape

Step 3

Coat with your choice of coating

Step 4

Enjoy!

This was well worth the effort to me. While I was at it I powder coated the foot controls and frame covers as well, so they would all match

Sweet mod man, I like it. Not sure what I'd do about the rear exhaust hangers, but I'm sure something could be made.

the previous owner of my bike did a similar thing though I think he found some rear sets that work or they were an extra pair he cut down. So at least if I wanted to go back to passenger setup.

Looks like he made a simple bracket. There was someone on here that has a Green Z up in Canada that also made a nice bracket I think. Lucky for me I Have the IXIL undertail so my exhaust mounts to the frame.

Yep, made a real quick and dirty exhaust hanger. I have an idea for something better, but this works for now

Nice, I was planning on churching up my old stockers as well this winter just for something to do. I actually did it half assed for a few weeks when I did my swingarm mod until I got my Riz rearsets. I put heel guards from an R1 or R6 on that I got pretty cheap as well. I am gonna clean them up and paint them just for fun, maybe drill a few holes to make them look cooler.

Those are sweet. Maybe powdercoat 'em black?

A nice and easy way to mount an exhaust hanger on the first gen Z1000's is to use a couple P-Clips. I think they're 22mm.

You can usually pick 'em up at any autoparts store for pennies...lol. Then, mount the hanger of your choice, or fabricate one.

That's what RickZ1k used on his Z1000, plus an old Aprilia hanger.

Oh, and btw Chance.Z, nice job on the rearsets, they look alright!!

Thanks Rembrant!

Thats a good idea on the p-clips, I hadnt thought of those. But the exhaust hanger I made I pretty much bent into a P clip, it just isnt as nice. I will have to start measuring hangers to see which one will work best for me
