KZ650 Exhaust Options (tried the Motad?)

My KZ650 has an unknown, chopped exhaust. It has no connector pipe between the two sides.
I like the 4-2 look, which unfortunately limits my options.

Should I....

Get a MAC 4-2: milwaukee.craigslist.org/mpo/5136279356.html
Save up for a Motad www.wemoto.com/parts/picture/mt-mz6t/
Or buy the best looking stock pipes on eBay?

DavidSilverSpares sells the Motad for $630, there's the craigslist Mac for $250. and I'd probably spend up to $300 on eBay for stock.

Has anyone seen/used the Motad?

I've had several motads, popular in the UK, good build quality and chrome, quiet but nice tone and no upjetting required. They aren't a performance pipe and whilst it looked good on my GSX11 the long silencer isn't so cool on a zed imo. (kz)

I just scored an awesome pipe for my 750r1, it is a UK 'predator' with right hand exit, stainless 4/1. It looks great, sounds awesome and seems really good midrange, the previous pipe(marshall deep tone 4-1) was maybe slightly better top end. I'll trade rpm power for midrange any day on a 750.

Look for kz650 kz700 kz750 gpz 750 they all fit, the rear hanger may need altering.

Max bottom and mid power will come from a 4-2, the factory linked pipes work greatwith an airbox, just personally I think they look a bit goofy. 4-2-1 is optinum but 4-1 is best peak power.
