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...

GS 850 1980 Exhaust

Hi,

Let me introduce myself. My name is Max and I live in Holland. I recently bought a gs 850 from 1980. The bike needs some work and the previous owner started a cafe racer project. I am planning to finish this project. The bike needs some new parts like intake booths and a new exhaust. The intake booths are not hard to find but the exhaust is a different story. I found some new idea but they cost up to 300 euro's (330 dollar) and since I only paid400 for the bike, that very expensive. My exhausts are rusted trought on the collector and I wonder if there is cheaper way to fix this. Are there any other exhausts that I can use or other fixes?

Thank you in advance!

Greetings,

Max

Hi Max, if it is just the collector box that has rotted then you can get a fix around that by replcing it with 2 straight steel tubes. There are some details in my rebuild thread in my sig.

I wish I had your patience. Your 850 is extremely sweet. Mine needs attention for oil misting on the fins, and is kind of a hybrid, the results of hitting 2 deer and putting it back together on the fly so I can ride it. Don't want the down time, I have too many other jobs sitting around.
 
Thank you for your advice. Last week I bought a new exhaust (4-1). The exhaust fits but the bracket on the rear demper needs to be adjusted. So I need to find a welder who can do that for me.

Greetings,

Max
