How customized is your bike?

Frank Davis at Powerhouse Motorcycles in West Babylon on Long Island is a master builder/tuner/racer. Very experienced with four cylinder bikes, from '70's air cooled to the present day. He's the only one I let touch my Suzi.

A full custom exhaust system will cost many hundreds of dollars. You might want to keep your eye's peeled on ebay for something nice but cheaper. As long as it's not all bashed up you can always send a used system for blasting and ceramic coating.

i keep looking on ebay but sometimes i dont know if i trust that they know what they are talking about as far as fitment

 

[Rob S.]

The reason I asked about customization is because there should be a plethora of aftermarket systems that should bolt right up to your bike. One of the more common, and perhaps better, is the V&H Street Megaphone.

Why were you looking for a custom exhaust?

i called a few manufactures mac, delkevic and marving the 83 gs750 es seems to be a problem its only made 1 year but i think the vance and hines does work. the exhaust for the e and es are the same . just not a fan of the mega phone look

I hear you. The first time I saw my bike (Oct '13), the exhaust looked too short. In my day, ('70's and '80's), 4-into-1's ended behind, not in front of, the rear axle. Kerker was the predominant style. I eventually switched to the V&H "SS" system, which resembles a modern 'canister' style. This is before I bolted the "SS" on:

How does the vance sound

I can personally recommend Motogpwerks. I have one on my old es and I love it. They are here in California, but he sells on eBay

Ok thanks I'll check them out

The V&H "Street Megaphone" that was on my bike when I bought it needed repacking, according to the PO. I disagreed. It's a 'straight through' system and it sounded great.

The V&H "SS" canister I installed is not straight through and sounds a little tinnier. It's still sounds good, just not as beefy as the Street Megaphone.

ok thanks for the info on the vance sound

With either V&H muffler you can get the street or competition baffle.... the competition baffle being a straight through design. I recently repacked my SS canister with the comp baffle..... I wouldn’t say it’s much quieter, if quieter at all.... but it sounds more full and not as tinny.
There aren’t many of the canister type out there, unfortunately; but the megaphones are fairly easy to come across and they work.
