New Zard Exhaust
Zard is proud to announce and release the first public images of our new exhaust for the Sport models, due to be available in about 4 weeks.
A beautiful combination of style and class blend into an aggressive look that not only fits the intention of the bike, but makes the bike stand out from all the others who want to bolt on the same old looks everybody has seen before.
We have larger files of these if you wish, please email me info@annitori.com and I will be happy to assist you.
Pricing information will be available in a short time, please let us know if you have any questions and we will get the information posted.

I think I will be keeping rear signals in stock for anyone who runs this system..
starring at these pipes, how does the cross over work?
it almost looks like the pipe that curls around the filter is the cross over, but maybe thats me.
breather valve, must have to use an MH style extension.

It is nice to see another option.
So far nothing seems to have really hit the bull’s-eye for me, the closest is the Termi Slip Ons but I'd prefer them stainless or perhaps chrome. Be interesting to see what Arrow and Akrapovic come up with.
My personal opinion on the Zard is that the lower pipe appears to be somewhat incongruous with the "Classic" look of the bike. I like the upper one, and the heat shields look nice, but the lower looks a bit bulbous. The whole concept looks too modern to my eyes. I don't care for that look on the current Super Sport / GP stuff, but it seems to really spoil the Sport classics to me.

I would imagine a MH900e style of breather would be all it needs as the MH pipes goes thru the same place.
Personally, I love the pipes, it is so cool to see something other than what is usually dictated to us by the big boys.
Well done Zard!!!

Back and Forth
I'm going back and forth on this one....back and forth. All technical questions aside (I know Jason will hash those out!), in the end I think they look....Bad Ass!
A daring look to be sure. Maybe not 100% congruous..but pretty damn close. They look like they'll sound like the hounds of hell. Given that, I still do like the Termi's a lot.
I think we're going to be a-talkin about getting one of these as a demo to mock up on our Sport 1000 demo....doesn't that sound like a good idea, Steve?

Quickly, there have been some emails to us about the crank breather, and I wanted to clear this up.
We are told that there is an aluminum spacer being used to re-position the breather, that is how the pipe is getting by.
This spacer will come as part of the kit.
Hope this information helps.

The Zard's look FANTASTIC  Hope the sound is up to par with the looks. For some added mean-ness: black ceramic coating  These pipes remind me of the old race-bikes
