Picturebolt on carb holder (KE/KD/KX 125 shown)
By the looks of the mounting and the instructions. At least this model of "Skunk Pipe" was designed for rotary valve models that use a bolt on carb holder.  This would limit the compatible models as not all rotary valve engines use this design. 

One ad lists 90cc, 100cc, 125cc, and 175cc Kawasaki's. More research is needed for models that use a clamp on carb to the rotary valve cover.
