    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.

Aftermarket dual pipes

Has anyone found an aftermarket exhaust that will allow keeping the center stand? I have a 1983 GS750E and it't too quiet for my taste. I do believe there is value in a little more volume to help the car drivers notice me. Plus I like it louder anyhow. Years ago I had a 1983 GS1100E that I drilled the 6? indentions on the end of each pipe and that made things a little louder but I am a grown up now and I don't really want to randomly drill holes in my exhaust :), but I love the center stand. I had a Bandit 1200 that someone had installed an aftermarket exhaust on and it sounded fine but it went right where the center stand was.
Thanks in advance for any help.
 
Soon as I posted this I realized I can probably just keep the stock header and replace the mufflers with something louder.
 
Vance and Hines and Marving both allow you to keep the centrestand. I think the Mac ones did too...
 
So many of the stock exhausts are difficult to find and expensive if you do find them.
Just a suggestion to not cut the mufflers off yours.
Put an ad in the Parts Wanted forum. Some one may have an exhaust they want to part with or trade.

Thanks Steve. Yes I don't want to do anything that can't be undone. I respect how old and original my bike is I do ride it so I will improve it when I can but no hacking!

Dangit. I messed with trying to load it onto the forum for a while before I tried that. I'll try again when I have a computer nerd handy.
 
This is sadly, the best that I can do. Should have gone to college :( C7BC6714-8974-42BC-9BF9-0DAF3E9B404F.jpg
