1983 GS1100E Delkevic 4-1

[45bpcr]

I'm trying to find a photo of an 82/83 GS1100E with the Delkevic 4-1 "Cafe" pipe.
I've seen a few photos and vids of the bike with the traditional megaphone design.
Anyone here have one?

Trevor has probably cornered the market.

Haha..that’s one exhaust I’ve never been a fan of

Have you tried their website?

I have it on my 82-1100G and love it. Not loud at all, lightweight.

I did look through Delkevic's site and I did see the stock photo of the Cafe pipe on a GSX1100.
I'm assuming it's an 80 or 81 bike sold in Europe.
I found this vid of the Megaphone style on youtube, don't know if he's a member here or not.

I was curios to see what the cafe pipe looked like on the same vintage bike.

On a side note, I'd emailed Yoshimura asking if they still manufactured pipes for the bike.
A nice guy from sales got back to me the next day.
Apparently they will still make pipes for the 81-83 Katana, but they need to be ordered from Japan.

About $2300.00 not including shipping :-)

The bike wears and old pitted and painted Vance + Hines now.

Have a look at the Hindle systems.
A couple options on headers and mufflers.

Motogpwerks do a Yosh replica that's beautiful, if I do say so myself!

Is that your center stand still on there? That is a very nice looking bike.

I had one on an 82 GS1100G. Very good quality for the price.

That's the question I was going to ask as well.
I'd like to retain my center stand as well as oil filter and drain plug access.
Ideally, that's the pipe I was looking for.
Perhaps a call to Patriot Racing would be in order.

I've got one of those pipes on my 1982 GS1100E and I could keep the center stand, but access to the drain plug is tight! I find it easier to just remove the # 1 & # 2 downtubes. Oil filter access is good.

That's quite steep, when you realize a brand new, shiny chrome, perfectly serviceable V&H can be had for around $600.

There are a lot of decent used bikes out there for $2300 bucks.

Thanks Ian,
the center stand and a part of the bracket was removed and there's no access to the drain plug. On the up side, the pipe uses "spigots" at the head, so remove the 4 springs & the hanger bolt at the rear, and you have unfettered access to the drain bolt.

I don't miss the center stand as I have a full collection of work stands... front, several rear and a frame lift to get both ends off the ground for shock service or whatever

Be well.
