    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.

Need a new exhaust and was wondering on the dimensions of headers/collectors and pipe o/d and stuff like that to suit a warm GS1000s. Dont need name of systems just general info to see what makes a good 4 into 1 exhaust. Or where there is some measurements on a good system. The one i have now is 27 yrs old and a full race pipe and rust is starting to show thru on the headers. Dont need info on your average $200 exhaust need good info. Just technogly must have inproved in the last 3 decades

I don't believe there are really any technological advances to speak of. The pipes you see now-a-days are the same ones that have been selling for years.

Yours looks very nice with the bike. Could you just steel wool the rust spots and re-paint with high-temp paint?
 
I agree, technology has not changed much over the years. Physics remain the same, so what worked back then will still work today. The only differece would be routing. Somebody thought the pipes would look/work better over there, so the moved them there and gave the set another brand name.

Sorry but the rust spots are holes not surface rust. Need a bit more than steel wool.
 
Could you not find a local exhaust manufactuer to make you a copy of yours in stainless?
