    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

1100 - 850 exhaust interchange?

Did a forum search, but not certain if past answers apply to my specific situation. Expert advice appreciated.

I've been offered a clean 2nd hand 4-1 exhaust system from an '83 1100 to fit my '82 850. Don't know if the 1100 was a shaftie or if that even matters.

Brand unknown and I'll have to check if the centre stand can be retained.

cheers

I did a cross reference on Dennis Kirk and it seems the 1100 and 850 are not interchangeable.
 
The 1100E and 1100G are quite different machines. "1983 1100" isn't enough info...
 
Thanks. There's always a gotcha. I'll try to get a positive ID on the system and exactly what it came off.
 
It's made by Tranzac www.tranzac.com.au and is off an '83 GS1100G. Would come really nice with a coat of matt black.

Burning question is will it fit?

For the record...

The seller loaned me the replacement over the weekend. Thankfully it fits, because the old system wasn't in any state to be reinstalled.

It hangs low by about an inch. The centre stand had to go and a small bracket was required to mount the can. There's plenty of clearance around the oil filter (nice) and under the sump. I'll just have to remember to take care with the reduced ground clearance.

Gives the 850 a drag bike look. The can has a nice deep fruity note which I've softened with a stainless steel wool plug to make 6am starts neighbour-friendly.
