couple a questions

[Deleted]

ok as it says
first: does any body know of a stubby end can to replace the huge oe item (If a std one comes up at the right price i'll hack that down) but if ones available off the shelf preferably in black that would be better ;D
second: can the brake calipers be swapped for anything better? i had a firestorm prior to this and the brakes were pretty shite on that, but these make em feel awesome!!!!!!!!!!!
third: anybody else get a vibrating/buzzing from the front at about 5-6k in low gears? its drivin me bonkers and i can't locate where it's coming from
thanks guys

1) These guys www.mtcexhausts.co.uk/index.htm offer their cans in 450mm & 380mm lengths for the same price and also offer powder-coated finishes.

2) My old Thundercat had the R1 brakes that had everyone raving. My zeds are better! Is your bike new or secondhand and have you replaced the pads recently? Perhaps think about uprating the hoses to braided items. Failing that I understand 636 forks will go in fairly easily and give you radial calipers at the same time (stop me if i'm wrong).

3) Did get some vibrations at those revs but they have disappeared since my Renthals and bar end mirrrors went on.

thanks 4 the quick reply
bikes brand new so don't really want to swap the whole front end, i'm gonna try the braided hose/pad route first see if that helps, but looking for alternative options. The vibes aren't through the bars its more of a loud high pitched buzzing

I've a Carbon Can Co one which is pretty short. Mine buzzed a fair bit when it was new but it has died down a lot.

Clutch lever buzz usually present on Big brother Z but that's not to say it can't happen on the baby Z. I swapped my 1000 clutch lever for the 750 clutch lever and my Buzzing went!!!! ;D

ok sorted the buzzy lever piece o piss really just undid the lever & hammered a nylon washer flat enough to squeeze in (with a blob of grease) and voila cured Also started to cut down the fleabay exhaust so hopefully in a few days will be posting a piccy
