    Just went to that link. They have a "Marshall" exhaust for a GS1000G. Didn't have pricing that I could see. Should be able to fit an E model right?

            Nobody really gives a hoot, we can do anything with the exhaust, unless it is straight-pipe loud.
            Hareleys get away with that too for some reason.

              totally different in the uk mate, all strictly monitored on MOT tests etc and the coppers get real funny about loud exhausts. most people have 2 tail pipes, one for mot and then whip it off and put the nice noisy one on!:-D

                just got my Mot today, tester guy actually mentioned how meaty the bike sounded, I was well pleased.
                Marshall deeptone , sounds lovely, sounds like a bike should, and when you get a shift on it sounds amazing.

                  Yeah Adrian I already have that saved in My Ebay. I talked to my buddy and he said if I did win it and the guy didn't want to ship to the US we could just ship it to his mate that lives somewhere in the UK. Then ship it to me. Going to get bloody expensive. He just paid $140 to have a tank shipped over.

                    well i would do the same mate. if you can get it for the right price then get it posted to me and i will pack it up and post it on to you. like you say, could be a bit pricey

                      I appreciate it. Be interesting to see what it goes for. A pound is about $2 right?

                        yes that is about right. i think it will go for silly money and with the postage on top may just be a bit too much

                          Here is what a one in a little better condition went for.



                          Could have bought a whole bike (look at that paint!)
