TOPIC:

I'm restoring my '78 KZ650 and need a replacement for the stock exhaust system. I'd like to have a 4 into 2 system that looks as close to stock as possible . Does anyone have any ideas as to where I can look to obtain something suitable for this bike? I have searched eBay and surfed the 'net for quite some time all to no avail. Mac makes a 4 into 2 system but it's what they call a "turnout" pipe - not the look I want to acheive. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

None of the 4-1 systems I've ever seen look anything close to the stock exhaust on the 650. I'm not sure of any aftermarket 4-2 systems that mimick the stock look either. If you want the stock look your best bet will be to watch ebay for a clean stock system, they show up from time to time.

Thanks for your response. I made an error on the original posting. It's a 4 into 2 I'm looking for NOT 4 into 1. I made a correction in the posting. Again, thanks for your response. The quest continues.......

I have a stock 4 into 2 set if you are interested, I am actually looking for a 4 into 1 for my bike. My stock exhaust is in great condition and the mufflers themselves are shiny chrome with no pits at all and they are near mint. I have pics in the gallery that will show the exhaust or I can email you better ones if you are interested.

I assume the stock exhausts for our bikes are the same

Thanks for your response to my inquiry. Yes, I'm very interested in your 4 -2 exhaust from your '77 C1. I am awaiting a phone call from my local parts manager who will let me know if your exhaust will fit my '78 B2.
In the meanwhile, I would appreciate it if you could email a photo of the exhaust,(or bike, if still installed) to me at: (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.). That way we can communicate directly. Also in the meanwhile if anyone reading this forum knows if this exhaust is compatible with my bike and would care to weigh-in on the subject, it would be appreciated. I attempted to upload a photo of the old girl but the file size was too big and was rejected. Sadly, I don't know how to adjust the file size to make it acceptable. As soon as I can learn how to modify .jpg file sizes (you can do that?) I will upload images regularly for all to see the progression of the rebirth of my first bike. I hope to have her road-worthy by the time she's 30 years old, June 2008. Ah, we had some good times.... and there will be many more... Oh yes. Yes there will.

77-79 KZ650 exhausts are interchangable.

The '77~'79 KZ650B and the '77~'79 KZ650C/'80 KZ650F "Custom" all used the exact same part numbers (current part#s 18001-1002 = L/H 18001-1003 = R/H) for the exhaust mufflers.
