    Exhaust interchangablity

    Will these fit an 80 GS850G?

      Not without some modifications. I just finished doing the reverse, 850 pipes on 1100G. The pipes will fit the head but the bolt spacing on the flanges is wider on the 1100 pipes. I just drilled and slotted mine till they fit. The rest should fit OK. May have to build a different bracket at the rear.

      Hope that helps.

                      Did you bolt the 850 pipes under the engine? Or maybe later 850 pipes don't bolt under the engine?

                          Yes the 80 and newer 850's bolted to the pan, but my per-muffler was rusted out. I replaced it with 1 1/2" exhaust tubing (per Steve's advise). Which eleminated the under engine mounts. I'm not sure the 1100 pan has the bolt holes anyway. Right now the rear is held up with coat-hanger. Very redneck! I just needed some quiet pipes to test run this engine and not upset the neighborhood. Later it'll get something louder.

                                  Whoops, what I thought was an exhaust system was really just some mufflers which had been sawed off from an exhaust.
