Hey All...was considering the possibility of replacing my V&H header with a stainless Delkovic system...went to their site, & nothing listed for kz650's! I can certainly contact the company, but was wondering if anyone knows of a listed application from them that would bolt up to my 78 650 B2A...I know the later ninjas are water cooled & have different carb spacing, but thought someone here might have already dealt with this...As always, any feedback is appreciated!

Do they have anything for the ZR750 air-cooled models?

The 2000-03 ZR-7 & ZR-7S mufflers & probably a 90s Zephyr 750 system will fit the KZ650. .
Here's Andy-the-Gringos bike w ZR-7 exhaust. I think the ZR-7S is the same.

Had another look at their site... www.delkevic.us/ no love...odd how some models listed don't even offer the header section....mufflers only...Martin, am I understanding you correctly in that Gringo's bike (Totally love the fire airbrushing, BTW!) has a FACTORY ZR7 exhaust on it? Fabbing a simple hanger bracket wouldn't be a problem, if that is the case...Gonna hafta look at fleabay!

Yes, that's a stock ZR-7 exhaust system fitted to his 77 650 w fabbed muffler bracket.
I don't recall the exact year, but the mufflers are from around 2000-02.
The ZR750 air-cooled models are based on the KZ750 which in turn is based on the 650.

I'm pretty sure you can fit any 650/KZ700/750/ZN700/ZR750 air-cooled exhaust system to your bike. You'd have to fab muffler brackets & center stand clearance might be an issue w a 4-2 system.

Note: there are some water-cooled ZR750 models w radiator, but those mufflers won't work (pretty sure). The ones I've seen have an angled engine, so the exhaust headers are angled --- the models are easily identified by the angled carburetors.

got a scuff on them, but would probably sound awsome!
Am going to hafta PM "Senior Gringo" ...hard to tell from pic, but looks like no centerstand on his bike, (I would miss my centerstand!)

The ZR750s had a center stand & either a 4-1 or 4-2 system, so hopefully it wouldn't be an issue on the 650.

The fitment problem arises in regards to the left side muffler, as the center stand can bang against it.
The 750-4s have a recess in the Left muffler to allow center stand clearance.
The 70s type 650s don't have the recess, so clearance may not be an issue when going w a non-stock 4-2 system. ???

I would call them. They were very candid that their online catalog suffers from being incomplete. If they makes full system, they probable offer a header only system.

Thanx Doc! Awesome price ! I wish I had seen that before I bought my V&H..1 year on the bike, & already showing rust, C'mon IRS refund!

Wow! "Ask and ye shall receive" I guess..Just on a whim, I checked my account, and damned if the IRS hadn't left me a happy little surprise! Only took them 7 days!! TONS of other places it should go, but I pulled the trigger on the Delkovic system! $ 319 delivered! Could not NOT do it!
(Now, about that Bell "Bullit" helmet.... ) Thanx again for the secretarial work, DoctoRot! Will give feed back as soon as is feasible...got big snow coming!

Good for you. Rain here. Had to use the 69 Ford to go into town. That's OK, I need a tire on Bossie anyway. Use your cam and let us hear it scream.
