DIY baffle and tip for my GS1000G 4 into 1 exhaust

[Vloukole]

Hi guys

I decided to remove my exhaust and had a look at the baffle cause the bike is to loud. I discovered there was no packing around the old baffle and that the exhaust was shorten. It was made into a straight pipe.

I made a new baffle and tip. 20151002_073941.jpg

Very nicely done. It looks the job.
Baffle screwed/bolted on the tip?
How is the sound?

[Vloukole]

Thanks. It is welded on with a CO2 welder.
It is very quiet. Almost to quiet. A deep sound.

Gemsboks wont be bothered...

What do you mean?

[Vloukole]

Lorenzo, do you have a picture of your GS1000G?

Haha o gemsbok.
Very nice bike. All original?

Very nice bike. All original?

Terminals are Sito aftermarket units; as are the blinkers, which have a round stem instead of the square one. Do not know if this model year/month is supposed to have or round rectangular turn signals.
The headlamp is an 8'' unit with aftermarket reflector which really shines a light.
Headlamp ears are from a 650GS (from a "negligent" seller).
Fork trimming (the lower triple cover) is missing.
But, we'll get there.
How about yours?

[Vloukole]

Mirrors I think is wrong. Is yours original?
Need the front crash bars.
Exhaust is 4 into 1. Would love to have the original 4 into 2.
The seat cover is not original.
Is the paint original?
