    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.

Hi, I have a black chromed, slightly dented Motad 4 into 1 at the mo on my GS550 but got my hands on a second GS550 bike for spares which has pretty good condition duel exhausts.

Should I put the bike back to stock? I think it will look nicer, but performance wise will it make any difference? I also have the CV carbs/boots etc that came with the bike and so are correctly jetted for the twin exhausts. Th bike is running VMs at the mo.

Cheers
 
as far as looks go, the choice is upto you, i doubt you will notice much difference in performance between the 2. you may even get a little better low to midrange with the stock pipes.
try them with your carbs first and see how it runs, you could always try the CV's at a later date
 
The cylinder head is different between CV carb bikes and VM carb bikes. Getting the carb boots switched between the two types is not trivial. Easiest thing to do is stay with the stock carb setup and rejet back to stock as needed.

Personally, I greatly prefer the stock exhaust over aftermarket.
