Latest Z picked up.

[85ytz250n]

Well after a 13 hour trip to Atlanta and back I came home with my latest Z. I am not real sure it is worth what I payed but it will be good to be back on three wheels. Its got Douglas redlabels all the way around and semi-new tires, love the Titans, thinking of getting a set for the 400EX now. Got some cheap spacers behind the rims and several small bugs to work out but it starts on teh first kick every time.

The previous owner was nice enough to hack up a good headlight bezel to install the temp gauge.

Not a bad looking start. Too bad about the head light assembly though.

[85ytz250n]

It happens, just glad to get the rims and tires in that good of shape and a motor that starts on the first kick. Even if the motor does shake like a bed in a cheap motel, its runs so that is a good start. The lights dont work however and will need to be troubleshot when I get back in from this hitch.

What makes you say it is an 85 1/2? Not being a butt, just curious. I thought it may have been a Klemm to till I looked at the sections that are between the mount and the exhaust flange. His was all sectional in between, mine is stamped and starts sectional right before it makes it to the mount. I dont knwo what kind of pipe it is but man does it have a nice growl to it. I am thinking of switching it out with my stocker and seeing how much of a difference it actually makes. I may actually put it up for sale, or maybe for trade, there are a couple things that I need to get both of mine running again.

get in line behind me :D

Any one know if it is a Cobra like the guy said it was?

Barry

[Mosh]

I was told mine is a cobra pipe,and it does not look like that one.The cobra from what I have and have been told resembles the stock pipe almost 100%That is the way mine looks.

[03 ORANGE SHEE]

i know that pipe!if raffa does what it ill give you $450 for it, its rare for sure!

[85ytz250n]

Well I cant believe that it is worth $450, thats half of what I gave for the trike. I really just want to know who made it, and maybe a little later down the road I may get rid of it because I like the look of the stock pipe.

Barry

[03 ORANGE SHEE]

if them other two dont want it , i do, all i need is your paypal addy...;)

[85ytz250n]

Can anyone tel me what kind of pipe it is?

Barry

[Mosh]

I really dont know what that pipe is.It looks like someone made that pipe from scratch.It looks to me like a top-end pipe.That is why I am interested in it.But I wont pay nowhere close to 450 for it.No offense,but that is just out of my budget.So count me out on that unless no-one else wants it,drop me a line.
03 shee says he knows the pipe.I am curious as well.I thought Klemm at first,but it is not from what I see,It aint a Cobra or Dg,and the only other 2 pipes I know made for the Z was a Bill's(which it is not on of them for sure) and Bassani.I dont recall a Bassani looking like that.I think Answer made a pipe back in the day,but I have never seen one.

[chris200x]

I believe this to be an answer. :wondering (that's been rewelded in a few spots.) Or at least that's what I've been told. (from a guy that really knows his stuff!):)

[85ytz250n]

Definetly not an answer then, mine doesnt look like that. Maybe when I get home in a week or so I will take it off and get more pics so ya'll can see it better.
