I just put a Zard cross on my street scrambler as stock pipe was so hot in my leg and tried everything to solve it but nothing really did enough. Maybe just me and the way I mount the bike, I dunno

pros- no hot leg, feels noticibly lighter, I can hug tank better

Cons- had to use a mallet to bang where the bits slip into each other. Didn’t fit as it came.
it’s also a touch too loud for my liking, with baffles in, and earplugs. The metal also has started to discolour and spot a lot at the bend near the headers after one day. Had to also adjust break pedal so it wouldn’t hit the pipe as it did by default. Still fiddling with that as it’s too high now.
So pretty disappointed with the cross. Tempted to go back to stock as I love those pipes still. Thinking on it!

Hi guys,
I have been on a hunt for a Zard exhaust on my Scrambler 900.
I never seen one nor heard one in real life.
I can't make up my mind and thought you guys can help me make up my mind.
No matter which model I will put on, I will had a Free spirit decat if it's not a full kit but a slip-on version.
In both set-up I'm taking baffles out as well
The choice I'm having issues with is between the 2>1 tiger 70 or the N.2 slip on.
I know the look is different, both are great look but I want to know sound wise.
I don't mind being loud, as you can realize I want loud hahahah, its not a problem where I live.

After over year of looking around, I decided to give it a try here , in a hope of advice.

thank you,
Synan

I wish I could help you, but alas, I have not heard either of them in person.

I have a video with the sound of the Zard in my Flickr account: check it out.

Gorgeous to look at !
The baffles are on ? and not sure but did you also left the catalytic converter on ?

I left CC on since I live in CA. The baffles were on. If I take them off, it’ll be stupid-loud. I don’t have to the bike now. I regret selling it just to get it a hog. Nothing against the hog I have but it’s not a match for me at all. Beautiful bike but not for me.

I heard the pillion pegs can't be folded on bc of the pipe. Was it the case ?
My scrambler is 2022, the Zard will be the new generation for 22 models, was curious to know if they fixed the issue

Hey, sorry for the late response.

Yeah, the right side pillow peg did not fold all the way. There are solutions but I’ve never implemented them. One, I could have gotten a couple or three black washer and insert them between the clevis and footrest hanger. That would enable full lock fold up of the right foot peg. Two, remove the footpegs for good if you’re not giving anyone a ride.

Look at the parts fiche: Triumph Street Scrambler foot pegs assembly.

Look at number 21 (clevis) and 29 (hanger). You might need one longer bolts (number 33) and you can find these at your favorite hardware store. Note: you may not find black washer but that’s ok, you could spray paint glossy black.

I still love Zard but these guys do a lot of Campari after working. ;-)
