Help me identify this exhaust, 1980 kz650.

So I picked up a 1980 kz650 and it had a 4 into 1 and a megaphone with no baffle.
It was fun to terrorize the town with the open exhaust all day, but I need a baffle for this thing!
What brand do you think this is?

To me it looks like a Vance & Hines exhaust. Ed

You can measure the diameter at the bolt hole inside the megaphone and go from there. I did that with a Mac 4-1 and found a baffle from a different brand that fit perfect. Good luck. .........................Mike

Judging by the logo indent? Kinda looked that way to me, actually I think you nailed it, afyer looking at it closer it's chrome that has been painted.

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationYup, that's what it is. You can still buy them.

I ended up ordering the one swest linked from ebay, as well as some used rear shocks, I think my bike has different rears on it or at least stiffer springs.
They are set at their lowest setting and its jacked up pretty good in the back.
