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.

I am looking for a exhaust system for my 79' GS850.

What other year and model bike shared the same exhaust system....if any??

Thanks!
 
Any 8valve motored GS from 750cc up will fit at the head and around the frame tubes. Only concern would be rear mounts which can be easily remedied with some fabrication. Your 79 850 exhaust was a bit of an odd duck as prior to 1980 the Suzuki 750/850 and I think the 1000 as well didn't use the crossover pre muffler found on post 80 bikes. IMO your exhaust sounded better than those with the cross over as it was a nice smooth "whoosh" rather than the laters. The crossover tended to make them sound a bit raspier or motorboatish. Another part of that was due to the GSs oddball firing order too. If you pick up a later model exhaust it will work just fine with the premuffler but if you want that smoother sound the crossover can be eliminated with a couple lengths of simple exhaust tubing from the autoparts store. Good luck!
