Ya know, it really is hard to try and help anyone that asks a question like this. There are really helpful people on this site, but cmon, ya gotta try helping them, and in turn you are helping yourself.. POST SOME FREAKIN PICS, IF YOU WANT To IDENTIFY IT> They aren't clairvoyant, and can't identify something they can't see. Sheesh.

WOW, you are correct!. I completely missed it after looking at doc rots comment. I was also looking in the body of the post, as was, I assume, the docrot was too.
Of course, I also assume that someone with over 50 posts would know by now that inserting the photo into the message would make it where it would be impossible to miss it.
BTW< That exhaust looks stock to me, but that's just a wild guess on my part.

The motorcycle in the link is a 750E. I don't think a 750B Twin came stock with the same type of megaphone mufflers.

I am batting a big ole ZERO today in my trying to assist this member to identify his exhaust it seems. I must have missed the year and model designation also. Exactly where does the OP designate B or E? OR even a year for that matter? I was just guessing when I tried doing something anyone with internet access can do for themselves, by googling Kz750 twin.

So after looking for 60 seconds! I am painting this all black! With some nice silver accents. Short LTD front fender, which, both front and back chrome fenders, painted black also! Some Daytona/Euro bars. Try to lower a little and stuff the next size up tire on back!
All polished aluminum like Doc Rots.
There, you have a classic Old School, Classy Kawasaki!

Looks like it went off road a little with that divet in the front fender, may explain why the front blinkers are off?
Might have went down? Then the owner parked it after he healed and got out of physical therapy and his wife said! You better not ride that thing again!
Gee? How do I know that?

That exhaust looks very much like the stock KZ750G exhaust system with the exception of the small chrome cover between the header pipe and muffler. (see link below) Ed

OP doesn't say what motorcycle is in the photo, but it is a 750B. Identifiable by being a Twin and the tank & side covers, among other things that were found on 70s KZ motorcycles.

Yep, got that now. And the CV carbs helps to narrow down the year a tad bit, aside from the stock megaphone mufflers.
