Hi guys,

I received in a replacement exhaust today from a nice fellow here and I was wondering if anyone out there can help point me in the right direction.

My bike is an 82' GS1100EZ.

He believed that the exhaust he shipped me was a sidewinder which should match my bike. I'll attach a few images here for your review.

On the good news side the header fits perfectly into the engine itself (I have not yet tightened down the header nuts.)

Question #1
I'm worried about the proximity of the header to the brake pedal. Looks like when I tighten those bolts up either I'll barely miss the brake or I'll certainly have an issue. Thoguths/ comments?

Question #2
My original exhaust from PO was a 4-1 C&H street. That megaphone was bolted in thru the passenger foot peg. If I hold up the megaphone that came with the sidewinder I'm way off of that position.

So do I in fact have a GS1100EZ sidewinder or was this unit intended for a different bike?

If this is the correct exhaust where should I be trying to bolt the megaphone in thru?

Thanks.
 
1-You will have to modify the brake pedal.
2-You will have to make a bracket to mount the meg.
It look like a GS pipe.
Crazypaint has a couples of pics of the brake pedal he modified.He have the same bike(i think).

Sidewinders are usually used by drag racers. :o

Drag racers, by definition, are more concerned with GO than WHOA. :eek:

You will have to modify the brake pedal and fabricate a mount for the 'muffler'.
