Zorst

Trying to fit a stainless zorst off a Stryka. Looking at the following pics it looks as though I'll have to cut out the diagonal chassis tube and reposition it.
Any thoughts peeps?
Advice gratefully received.
By the way the big hole is there because it had a different exhaust before!

The engine has been jacked up and it's not central. To get it in the right position I think the black tube will have to go!

Hi John,

In my opinion cutting that particular tube out would seriously compromise the integrity of the chassis, as it is the main brace to the front of the chassis and suspension mounts.

Would it be possible to move the engine further back, such that you have a bigger hole to aim at in the area at behind the brace. If not I'd suggest modifying the manifold to achieve the same thing.

Alternatively you could modify the manifold to exit above the chassis rails through the bonnet.
