1982 GS1100G Brat Build!

You don't "unbolt" the stock mufflers from the header pipe. You take a hack saw and cut them off since they're welded together. You could have sold that set of clean stock mufflers for close to the cost of your new 4-1 exhaust. Good condition stock mufflers are getting harder to find and are prized by those that want to restore their vintage bikes.

It doesn't matter how the mufflers got gone, fact is that only selfish knuckleheads ride around on bikes without mufflers.

from the first post three pages back "All fluids flushed and changed with synthetic" so how is that working on an old bike?
It's problematic for many people I've spoken with so I stay with "old" oil...

I don't know what condition the bike was in when the project was started but I have problems cutting up re-storable bikes but that's just me...a junker I have no problem converting to whatever suits me...

loud exhaust- yeah my neighbors and their Harleys **** me off to no end, especially in the early morning or late at night...my CBX with it's 6 into 6 is even louder but when I ride through a residential area I make a point of kicking it up a gear or two to keep noise level down to a tolerable rumble...

Bike runs and rides great with the synthetic fluids. I'm sure it would also perform well with standard fluids but it's just a personal thing for me.

Holy cow there are some judgmental ****s here.

Holy cow there are some judgmental ****s here.

Don't we all have the right to be judgmental?

 

[JamesWhut?]

Holy cow there are some judgmental ****s here.

Like...you? Or are you just defensive of your own noise maker MisterIrony?

Wow, this thread went way weird, nice job on the bike man. Cut, chop, do whatever you like, a bike is a reflection of its owners personality. I'm loud as hell = so is my bike.

Thanks for letting me know. You have been added to my Ignore List too.

Looking good so far. Would look great with a shorty muffler and some pipe wrap. I toyed with going to a shorty myself to keep the pipe from dragging in corners.

 

[Jmanor]

I would do something with the exhaust but that's my view. If you are happy with it then that is what matters. I plan on doing slash cut with mine and wrap them.

 

[Buffalo Bill]

Yeah, great job on the bike!
So, is it on craigslits already?

 

[Guest]

Haven't seen many other bratted out 1100's out there.

Anyone else have anything similar?

Thankfully, ... NO.

Sold for $17,000 most likely.

The bike looks ridiculous.

Excessively loud, open pipes are for adult-aged children who have so little self confidence that they have to draw attention to themselves to feel some sense of accomplishment.

Or, to put it more succinctly, pu$$ies.

grumpy gramps needs a Depends change!

 

[Griffin]

Loser trolls who've been banned need a new maxi-pad.

My Ignore List just keeps growing and growing as a result of this thread. I'm going to call that much a positive outcome from this thread.

I heard once, might be urban legend, that excessively loud motorcycle's with no exhaust are top heavy and sometimes prone to falling over in the parking lot of a bar, strip club or paycheck advance

I know for a fact they attract baseball bats.

 

[Redman]

I know for a fact they attract baseball bats.

I have heard that they also sometimes attract potatoes.
