Harris Exhaust info

[jwhelan65]

Wondering if anyone is familiar with these exhausts? Found one for a decent price for the 750e, just curiuos as to how good they are.

Those are a staple aftermarket exhausts from the UK, the workmanship and materials are highly rated but don't expect the same performance gains from a Bassani, Yosh or Supertrapp Like any of us can get the latter

Including cost of shipping might be prohibitive

Should be stainless I think.... My Bassani is loud!!

Yeah might be kind of expensive, converts to $285 before shipping...still not bad for a full exhaust.

this may be a dumb question.. On the gumtree dublin link the guy said they wouldnt fit his 750 "GSX" but the tab is stamped with GS 750. So whats the difference between a GS 750 and the GSX? Is the GSX like crotch rocket style or what?

I believe GSX is the European version, so by that logic one would assume they should be the same port spacing..hmmm.

well if thats the case Joe.. then if it didnt fit his 750 will,it fit yours?? HMM ?? It does however clearly say GS 750 and not 750GSX too!!! Would really suck wind to spend the cash and be stuck.

GSX is how europeans designate the 16 valve right? An 8 valve earlier 750 they'd calla GS same as us.

[chuck hahn]

AHHH ...the 16 valve (GSX) must have different port spacing than than the 8 valve GS 750s.. That probably explains why they wouldnt fit on his GSX version.. So logically they WILL fit on Joes 8 valve then.

yeah no doubt, I emailed the guy to find out exactly where and how it didn't fit. He wasn't very specific as to what the problem was.

[chuck hahn]

well what to do??? hope you roll a lucky one and give it a shot or try to find some domestically.....I have seen new 4 into one in Dennis Kirk and JC Whitney has a few too.

gs is the 2 valve and exhaust bolts at bottom of can
gsx is the 4 valve and it bolts up top of can

[tone]

Gs 8 valve & gsx 16 valve port spacing is the same so either exhaust will fit at the head, i'm guessing the problem the guy had fitting it was with it catching around the sump or footrest area

Harris exhausts have not actually been made by harris themselves for many years & the company that took over production no longer makes this type anymore as far as i'm aware (although they keep promising to make a new batch)

This type of harris exhaust used to come in either chrome steel or "black chrome" & every one comes complete with the famous harris mid range hole as standard & for free

Norman Hyde has them in stock:

They are a pretty decent pipe though I was never impressed with the quality of the chrome on the originals. You see loads of real rusty ones around.
