    Unobtanium?

    Hi all, just joined the forum. Recently purchased a 1980 GS1000S that has kinda been in the family for many years. I would like to find a factory OEM complete exhaust for it. Understood that I'm looking for a very rare beast. No interest in one that's "kinda nice".. Willing to pay for that as new, perfect etc etc set.
    Do they even exist? If the answer is no, can anyone advise what the most accepted alternative is? As in anybody make a repro pipe? Really appreciate any help here...

    Welcome to the site, Farkle.
    There are quite a few B.C. members here. One of them is keeping a registry of the S bikes.

    Yes to the S exhaust being unobtanium. No reproduction exhausts.
    The S owners will be along but if i remember correctly some of them are using GS1000L systems. They are also difficult to find.

    How about a pic or seven of your bike.

      Steve is correct. It's the 1979 chain drive 1000L system that's closest to the real deal 1000S system.
