'81 450 exhaust - are E and L interchangeable?

[MadMac]

Will the exhaust/mufflers from an '81 GS450L fit a GS450E? I found some that look in good condition and they look like they will fit but would like to confirm this before buying...
Thanks...

The mounting tabs in the rear are different. I think you could fit some from an "S" though.

Thanks, I'll keep looking. Do you happen to know of any available?

for what its worth, i just put L model pipes on a 650E without much issue... a couple of new holes had to be drilled in the mounting tabs but it worked out fine (keep your E tabs, you'll need it for the centre stand). All i've gotta do now is sort out a way for the kick stand to not rest on the pipe, not a biggie but its gotta be done.
