Why wouldn't a MAC exhaust that fits an 1981 GS750 not fit an 1980? I was under the assumption they where the same bike...

The issue is the "L".
Which model of 750 do you want to fit the exhaust on, and which model of 750 did it come from? -
I have a 4 into 2 exhaust that I assume is a MAC. It doesn't quite fit my '81 GS750L, however, I did have it on there with a bit of "engineering".
It worked fine, except it was in the way of the sidestand, so, I had to use the centerstand all the time. I have since located and installed an original exhaust.
As KKid said, there are frame differences between "E" and "L" models that affect (effect ??) the fitment of the exhaust.

This exhaust states it fits an 1981 GS750L, Why wouldn't it fit my 1980 GS750L?Comment

Because it is a Mac exhaust they don't fit anything properly. They are all crap IMO. I have tried to install them on a few different bikes and fought with every one of them. I refuse to use their products.1984 GS1100GK newest addition to the heard

It will fit your 1980 model just as well as it fits the 1981 model. You will need to do some last minute "adjustments", but that is just the nature of the beast.Originally posted by NatiKiD View PostComment

Thanks guys. It's just an option. I have a buddy with 82 xj650 and he got an exhaust from Mac and has had nothing but problemsComment
