    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

It's me again, the fellow who was looking for a 1000cc suzuki but had to settle for a kz1000. I bought a 1980 kz 1000 shaftie that's not charging and has a bad exhaust leak where the pipe joins underneath the bike. Does anybody have any experience fixing an exhaust leak here?

Also the bike has a windjammer with stereo and three vetter hard cases on the the rear. I'd like to remove these and sell/trade for parts, any idea what a fair price would be for such items?

There should be a gasket of some kind, where the pipes connect

Jim, is the leak a crack or is the header pipe not sealing with the muffler pipe? I had a Kerker years ago that cracked in that location and I had to get it welded up.

actually i should have mentioned that the connection between the two sections is rusted through. my question should have been is it possible to weld in a new section there?

Got to a automotive exhaust shop (one of the mom and pop shops, not one of the big national chains like Midas) and show them what you have...they might be able to help you.
