    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...

    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.

Goodbye Centerstand.....! 4-to-1 on 83 GS750E

Working on my 83 750E and I got all 3 of my bolts drilled out, and the new threads cut(not real happy about one of them though:mad:).

I was test mounting the 4-to-1, and saw that the centerstand needs to go:(
I assume this is the normal deal? The flanges, and bolt holes line up, so I assume this the right header. I have an offset pipe as well. Haven't hooked it up yet.

It would really blow if this isn't the right header, as it was the whole reason for the 3 broken bolts.

Another question: The header flanges are thinner than the factory pipe. Should I use bolt spacers, or just torque the bolts down, and leave it at that?
 
Sorry I can't help with any answers, but I would like to see a picture or two!

I just picked up an 83 750E and it needs a new exhaust...

Some do require it's removal, some don't.

Use studs and nuts, and use anti-seize on them. Bolts in the aluminum threads are a bad idea, Suzuki was being cheap when they used bolts.
