I was digging around yesterday and this caught my attention, I do not recall and discussion of this setup... So I figured it would be worth mentioning...
Looks rather nifty... Has a nice hand finished look to it |

It's interesting for sure but I'm not fond of how it blocks the timing cover. I'm hoping it's an optical illusion caused by camera angle etc. |

has to be an overseas bike. Otherwise it seems someone would have mentioned it by now. Seems those crazy europeans are always up to no good. Actually, I'm a huge fan of what they do. I like the way the headers look M |

Metalstorm, good point especially since the headers are not spring loaded up above, that could prove to major hassle... But is sure is different then anything that I have seen so far, I wonder how it compares to the other complete systems (micro, and Ti-Force). BTW here a short video... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0n67YgZC7C0 Also... the buell in the video is quite interesting... (Message edited by interex2050 on February 04, 2007) |

Already is I believe. But I have been wrong before. (It was a Thursday) The Zard header is cool,The can itself meh...Don't really like those kind of tips. |

I can tell you this its not a cheap piece, look at all the welding involved. I like it, it reminds me of the old two stroke expansion pipes that were hand crafted in many sections like that. |

Looks like someone needs a pipe bender. |

no kidding...other than the custom-fabbed look, why the hell would you wanna make all those welds when you can bend it in like 2 seconds?? to tell you the truth, i don't really like the way it flows anyways...it's different, just not my cup o tea. (Message edited by duff24 on February 04, 2007) |

Looks like an Italian company. http://www.zardexhaust.it/ And the only US distributor is in Illinois. |

The Buell pipe from Zard isn't actually available yet, although it should be soon. Zard make original equipment pipes for Bimota and I think will supply pipes for the race MV Agustas in 2007 so they have a pedigree. Personally I hate the 'lobster welding' on these titanium headers and prefer to see them traditionally bent, but what do I know ? |

It looks like the pipe and headers would come off easy if you have to take them off. Their website shoes a good picture of the system. It comes apart in a couple of sections which is pretty nice. |

I did must have missed that bit or have been looking an earlier version of the system... where on their site did you find the pictures? |
