    If you are looking for a 4/1 exhaust, Vance and Hines may be one of the few who still make one(check on line with Dennis Kirk) or you could try E Bay.
    Someone with an "L" would likely have better info.

      What year? The '83-'86 use a different exhaust than the older ones.

      It is also almost impossible to find an aftermarket exhaust for the newer model.

              doesn't that just say don't remove the baffle or modify the exhaust?

                  Check on MAC exhaust systems. I know they still offer 4 into 2 sytems for Suzuki as well as a 4 into 1. I can't remember pricing exactly but the 4 into 2 price hovers around $375 plus shipping. The chrome megaphone style maybe only style available.

                    I have never used these slip on mufflers from jc whitney but they carry positive reviews. They are the least exspensive I have found but still carry the vintage look for dual exhaust. Thought I would share...

                      Nice looking muffler. It sure does look like the closest thing to stock . I may have to try these as I don't care for the look of the mac turn-outs. I wonder what the sound is like. Anybody tried these?

                        The thing that is most appealing about these slips ons, besides the price, are the removable baffles. Like alke46 it would be nice to get real input on these pipes. Another concern I have is buying from JC Whitney, I have heard their customer service isn't always the best....

                          If theyŕe the same as the ones I had on my 650, theyŕe pretty good value IMHO. I think they´re Chinese. The shop had put them on when I bought my bike used from them in ´89. I finally changed them in 2001 or so, because I was having trouble keeping the seal in the joint to the header pipes. For the price, they served for 12 years on my bike, and went 50,000 km (31,000 miles). Not bad for a hundred bucks. I switched over to a MAC 4 into 1, as it was the only company that makes one for the 650. It´s been fine.
