Thanx in advance.

I know V&h used to make one, i had on on my gk when i bought it. I have since found a stock set and put them on. Unfortunatly, I junked the vh
 
I'm gonna need an exhaust myself in the not too distant future and I've been trying to locate a V&H system. They are out of production. Lots of places list them, but when you try to order they can't provide it. The V&H part number is V12001-G
 
Two possibilities= straights or Commando pipes

Two possibilities= straights or Commando pipes

The mufflers on my '82 GS1100GKZ barn-find were rusted out. The previous owner jury-rigged the OEM "stub" of pipe between the end of the 2 collector branches and the mufflers, luckily ending with non-OEM 1-3/4-inch diam. "stubs" about 6 inches long welded to the stock header collector ends.

POSSIBILITY ONE:
So, ... I got some 2-inch diam. standard conduit (not EMT), cut them to length ( about 20-inches long) ending at the rear axle bolt centerline, fabbed hanger struts, screwed those to the conduit, painted all of the pipe/straps black, jammed the head end into the "stubs", hung the pipes off the OEM passenger peg bracket, and let 'er rip down to the inspection station.

In Houston TX, there was no prob passing inspection, as the multi-cylinder sound of these straights is quieter than a Hardly-Davidson running straights. Pix will come soon, in another mail item, after I shoot some shots of this Work-in-Progress (WIP).

POSSIBILITY TWO:
My next step is to check out a pair of after-market Norton Commando-style silencers from DomiRracer [www.domiracer.com]. The visuals will somewhat match the GS's OEM style. This last part might be a first step for you... just check the pipe and silencer diams and the mechanical fixings between the headers and the new silencers.
