    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...

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 replacement

Ok - I searched the fourms, watched the posts, searched till I was developing carpal tunnel, but haven't come up with a answer for my needs yet. I want to change the stock exhaust on my 1981 GS550T. I am just looking for a replacement only. I have found that I can get the left and right hand pipes (pricey) but the center pipes are discontinued:(
Is there any where out there that sells replacement systems (either whole or parts)? Thanks for putting up with a newbie - I'm sure that I will not be compeating with Slowpoke in the number of posts, but you'llbe seeing my name up there this summer and winter.. Ahhh - I love a good project, but this is my first bike..

Thanks guys and thanks to the Admin and sponsors - I'd be lost without this!

If you want a stock replacement, keep glued to EBAY. Occasionally, a stock exhaust comes up for sale. Personally, I have done a pretty good job of looking and have not had luck find a good used system. I don't think anyone has made the exact replacement parts since the stone age, but I could be wrong. One of these days I'm going to try to handcraft a set of headers and completely foregoe the center collector/balancer/rusted crap thingy.
 
Dutch manufacturer Jama produces replacement exhaust systems for some of the GS's. They call them ''Jama originals", but don't seem to be available for the GS550 series. Take a look at their website http://www.laser-jama.nl/
They have a dealer in the USA:
Spiegler USA, 96C Westpark road, Dayton, phone 001-937-291-1735.

On their website (www.spieglerusa.com) I couldn't find any exhaust systems though.

Hope it's of any help.

They list a 4-1 replacement for a 1980-81 GS550E. I woonder if this will fit my "T" model, and if I will have to rejet?
 
I'm not familiar with a 'T' model GS550.
I had very good experiences with Laser exhausts in the past; the exhausts fit perfectly and I didn't have to rejet my GS850.
