    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

Exhaust for a 1982 GS850GLZ

I'm thinking of replacing my badly blued V&H 4into1 exhaust with a new set, but I can't find one that will fit the 82 to 83 years. I can find them for 80 to 81 all day long, but nothing beyond that. Why is the 82 model different?
 
I think the mounting tabs at the back are just a bit different, but I don't have two Ls of different years to compare.

If you don't mind making a small adapter, it will probably work just fine. :D

If your system is in otherwise good condition, why not send it out to be ceramic coated?
Amost as good looking as chrome and won't discolor nearly as bad.
As an example, feast your eyes on this sea of ceramic coating.

Not a bad idea. I'll have to check into pricing and if there are any local shops in the Atlanta area that can do it.
 
It will be less tha the cost of a new header.

I have two headers I am going to have done. Just the headers, not the 'cans' on both of them. I have gotten a 'guesstimate' from the shop at about $175 for each one. I can live with that.
