[Wigginton49]

I've been looking for a cheap exhaust system that will fit my 1978 GS1000. I found a few on ebay and was wondering if I could get some help. Could some tell me if any of these will fit on my bike. The First one is the one o

Where are you located? I have a set of OEM pipes I took off of my 78 gs1000 that I dont have a use for. They have quite a bit of surface rust on them, but would work.

Hi,

Of those listed only the GS1000GL exhaust has a chance to fit without major modifications. The smaller ones will have different cylinder spacing. The GL exhaust might be a bolt on solution, at worst you'd have to figure out a custom muffler attachment to the frame back there near the passenger foot pegs. However, I hung a GS850GL exhaust on my GS850G with no modifications at all.
