It was not a wife thing! That's an X now! (:laugh: ) It was my 2 small childeren! That seen a mangled Harley come home on a tow truck! they were 6-8 yrs old.
I happened apon a sorry ass left hand cage turner in a whimpy Pontiac Sun Bird! My Big FLH Hit the Corner (God Bless Me) of that little Shit Box! I was going 45 MPH.
It happened in 1/100th of a second! Turned in front of me! I layed in the Hospital for 5 days! Before I could put a foot on the Floor! I don't talk about this Much! But My kids seen this happen with my ex wife. So, that was a defining time in my life! When I told them I would never ride on a Highway going thuway speeds!
I thank that Old 700 pound Harley for making that low life idiot that was drunk and took off running down the road. He was caught! I hit so hard! The passenger got a broken leg! In the car! It looked like car it hit a pole! 1 more 1/1000 of a second I would have T-boned! And I would not be here typing today!
Sorry, I got carried away!
Ride Safe and Praise the Man Upstairs!

My memory is really fuzzy on this, but I think Jardine made a 2-1 for the 750 twin.

Whatever it is, I don't think it's a stock Kawasaki muffler system, since the muffler cover doesn't have bolt holes in the middle.

I don't think that Kawasaki ever made a 2-1 system for the 750.

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

kz750twins.com/?p=346#jp-carousel-354


The bike in the link has an exhaust that stops in front of the rear axle Ed, but the other exhausts end a few inches behind the rear axle. I did notice the bolts in the trim piece between the header and muffler, and know that my 81 has this piece that clamps into place (no visible bolts). I have had other bikes that the trim also bolted on too. BUT, anyone that can make out from this one picture and the vague description that this is a 2-1 setup has a better eye for detail than the rest of us.

This is the original thumbnail pic from Mr. OP inserted into my posting.


This pic popped on google when I searched Kz750 twin.

Here's a fun fact for all of you clairvoyant folks following this thread. With a twist. I did a google image search, and it popped up with the exact same pics Mr. OP posted. Except it shows both sides, etc, etc. that is not 2-1 exhaust. see for yourselves.

Great find! So the question that must be asked is why did the original poster post a photo of a bike with dual exhaust when he states his bike has a 2 into 1 exhaust? Does he really own the bike? Here are a couple pics from the link in old_kaw's posting:

My S.W.A.G. (scientific wild-ass guess) is that it is a Jardine, or perhapsMAC system that somebody rammed a random baffle into.
