    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.

850/1000 exhaust

I trying to figure out if the exhaust system from a GS850 will fit a GS1000. I know different years have different mufflers. My GS1000 pipes are beautiful from the collector back. head pipes are very rusty. Would like to keep stock look if possible. Keeping a bike stock is pretty tough for me, I know. Trying to get my game face back on..
 
The 8V exhaust fits across the board on 8V engines. '77-79 and the 1100 engines from '82-84. However, pay attention to the collector inside diameter. Sizes may very. Some also have cross-overs, some don't. I have both a 8V 750 and 1000 and swapped exhaust with no issues. However I am using a 4-1 header. I also have a 550 stock exhaust system but haven't done anything with it. Saving it for a lead sled bobber build.

16V engines should follow the same logic.
 
When I used an 1100 16v pipe on a 16v engine that was in a 1000 8v frame, I had to indent the frame near [NODE="1"]Home[/NODE] cyl exhaust area.
 
My case - I have a '77 750 with a 750 engine and a '77 750 with a 1000 engine - exhaust swapped right over, no issues.

I've used both Kerker and V&H

Haven't had a center stand issue... yet LOL
 
Sorry it's been awhile. So, the exhaust sounds like a bolt on affair. Center stand stays. Does the 850 fuel tank bolt up? Tail section same?, side covers?, Once again , it's going on a GS1000.
