    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.

A little info on an exhaust please...

I haven't heard of that header. Sorry. BTW, where in Philly are you located? I live in Roxborough, and there is a group of GS riders within about a 100-mile radius, and we sometimes do a really nice Central PA ride, so if you're interested in riding, give me a shout.
 
Very old brand. Had one on a Z-1 900 kawasaki I had in 1978. Nice pipe, good chrome as I remember

Do you list the rides on this forum? I am in Hopewell NJ. bout an hour from some parts of Philly.

Oops..No i haven't seen one of them dang pipes either!
 
I might buy it to see. If I don't like it, I can always re-sell it.

Anyhow, I'm from south philly. I'd love to take a ride through central PA with fellow GSers...

Haven't heard of Winning Performance since the late "70's". I thought they went out with "Racer One", "R.C. Engineering", "Jardine" & "Hooker"
 
I have a basement full of GS and Vetter parts, in doubles and tripplicate. I told myself, yea, if I .......fill in any blank here, i can always re-sell it. Somehow i ended up with (3) 82GS1100GLZ bikes. I have never sold a thing on e-bay.
Any ways, thats my problem.
My first 57 Chevy Belair i bought in 68 had Hooker headers and Thrush mufflers.
MANNNNNNNNNNNNNNN what a sweet sound. Had pumped up small block, 4 barrell holley, 3 speed on the floor with Hurst mystery shifter. Use to keep a spare trans in the trunk. Could swap it out on the road in 20 minutes flat. Cost $25.00 for exchange transmission at the junk yard. Its not just how i remember it. Things where better back than. First bike in70 was a 68 BSA lighting. Another great sound. British twins have the best exhaust sound. First GS i bought was new in 78. GS750E, black with blue pinstripe. I love my GS bikes, but he exhaust sound of any asian bike just doesn't do it for me. They all seem like they are whining. So, for me, stock GS exhaust is best. Unless they can make sound like a Hurley. Hey, I agree, go for it. You got nothing to loose.
 
Anything is better than a MAC. They fit OK, I just think the sound sucks.
At least on my GS1000. (Others like 'em cause they're real quite.)

Normally, they're planned and listed in the GS Meetingplace forum. I'll keep you local guys in mind if something gets set up, or if I'm in the mood for a medium length ride (4-5 hours total). I frequently ride down to Eastern Shore Maryland, to Rock Hall, where I have a project sailboat>
 
I'll keep it in mind. I'm only about 15 minutes from you. In addition to the organized rides, which are usually planned and listed on the GS Meetingplace forum, I'll ride on any reasonably warm day any time of the year. Sometimes I ride down to Eastern Shore Maryland, about 2 hrs from Philly> I'll keep you in mind if we get a decent day.
