After being approached by a member in the states M4 agreed to do a batch of full systems for the old S so thought wtf its not likely to happen again for awhile.Nice bit of kit indeed though its tempting to get a new mid pipe made and hang em on one side like the current setup.:rolleyes:Been awhile since id heard the sound of a courier drivers knock at the door so well received.:banana:

I have a mate with some M4s on his ZX14. I won't call them mufflers but apparently the old owner used to ride around with the baffles out, I can't imagine them to be any louder. We make him ride behind us.

They are just like under-megas so yours actually look totally differnet & hopefully will be a whole lot better

Did a fair amount of research before shelling out,overly loud was not what i was after at all.There quality stuff and the baffles will be staying in.

Na mate,only have the oem and 2 others plus a couple of mufflers here and there,the M4 systems mufflers will end up being hooked up to the single sided setup thats on there now when i get the time.

Not much in that pic Dave,have since refitted rear pegs so its pretty much done.Was due a wof so got that then went for a ride,the new system really does sound good,on his return the wof bloke said "i just wanted to carry on it sounds great".

Beyond the mutton dressed up now. A beautiful thing that has taken on something the zook r n' d guys never imagined.

Shame the 't' and 'x' weren't the other way round. Wish I was 19 again.

;)Yep ive thought the same about the plate at some stage,though think of all the great old bikes you have owned that you would have missed out on eh.Funny with the TL ive had it so long and still had plans ie SSSA etc but as fun as that would be to undertake ive pretty much come to an end changing things,i always loved the look of them and with what ive done so far it still looks like a TL,the aftermarket rims suit it and i dont believe the GSXR front end has changed much in the looks dept,sure has in the quality of ride.Theres not much left other than the bodywork i can change but thats a step to far i reckon.If i was to do anything else possibly some dirtbike style bars to relieve old mans back pain;)Another pic for the hell of it.Cheers for the comment.

Nice work mate! There are sooooooo many different zorsts out there that for some reason or other don't look quite right: artificially high with contorted link pipes, under arse systems with a funny lookin' pipe wrapped around the swinger, too low, or pointing out into nowhere etc etc....but those look just right to my eye. But it's your bike in every sense, great to see you still interested in and mucking about with it after all these years.

Ive got many elderly neighbours which is good as in its a quiet area to live,bad in that during the summer i would love to ride the bike to work but i dont want to wake em all up at 5.30 am,worse still the old S really does need to be warmed up some before setting off as it has a habit of fouling plugs if you dont.

Must be time for you to throw in a big bore kit or supercharger for that beast .........
