    Exhaust options

    I'm wondering if it would be possible to swap this out with the one I have one my 82 GS850G My bike has a 4 to 1 setup but is all rusty and ugly. Would this be doable a 4 to 2 setup without re jetting ?

      As long as your '82 is a G, it will bolt right up.

      If it's a GL, you will have to fabricate a bracket for the rear mount.

        Yes, those '79 pipes will fit your '82.

        Are you running an airbox or pods? If pods, you may need to re-jet. But either way, it will probably run a tad richer going from 4-1 back to a 4-2 system.

          Assuming it was re-jetted for the pipe.

            True....... ah assumptions! BUT.......... if it wasn't re-jetted in the first place, it would have been a tad lean. So returning to the stock 4-2 will make it richer by comparison.

              I'm not sure what was on the bike originally but it does have a hole on the other side of the bracket for the other side i just need to buy and nut and bolt. The bike has not been re-jetted at all. Thanks for all your help guys

                  You do realize those pipes are rusted and ugly as well?

                    I do yes but i did paint them plus my father dented the heck out of the pipe I had on there so It's kinda choking between 2500 and 3000 rpm. I tried fitting the other pipes on today and I do need some other brackets The one on the right needs to be a longer but on the left side is an issue It is blocked by the kickstand. Do I have to actually remove the kickstand or any other option available ?

                    Also for the brackets can i buy them from the dealer ? anyone have a part number kicking around ? thanks
