Swingarm need to be removed w/ V&H exhaust?

[jhnbrackett]

I'm looking into getting a V&H 4-1 exhaust right now for my 78 GS750 & was curious if the centerstand needs to be removed with installation?

Thanks!

Nope...

I didn't have to on my GS1100E. However, your bike might be different.

I have a kerker 4-1, (so not exactly the same thing) on my 78 750 and there is plenty of clearance for the center stand. I would imagine that you should be okay.

Only one way to know for sure though.

I have a centerstand and V&H exhaust on my 1100.

I still have my centerstand on with my V&H. Don't know how much different mine is from yours though. You shouldn't have to worry about it.

It fit on my 79 GS750 with no problem with the centerstand. But I took the centerstand off anyways.

You don't have to remove the stand. I have a 78 750e and I still have my center stand with a Vance and Hines 4-1.

I had a GS850G back in the early 90's that had a Vance & Hines 4 into 1. No problem with the centerstand. I don't suppose the 750 will be that different.

Best feature of the V & H was that the pipe stopped short of the rear axle, so changing the rear wheel was a breeze.

Worst feature -- too loud and high pitched on extended trips, even with earplugs. The bike ran great, though.

I have a centerstand and V&H exhaust on my 1100.

Same.... minus 100CCs and 8 valves \\/
