    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.

Hi folks,
Can anyone tell me whether 81 GS550 pipes will fit on a 80 GS550E?
I've done a thread search but not found any definitive answers.
Thanks
 
The header pipes will bolt up to the engine fine but the rear muffler mounts changed in 1981; on early bikes the mounts are on the bottom of the mufflers but in 1981 Suzuki changed the mounts to bolt on the top of the mufflers.

You can go to the fishe and look up the differences for yourself... http://www.alpha-sports.com/suzuki_parts.htm

It may be possible to modify your frame to accommodated the new style mufflers, but the frame loop at the back will have to be cut and new mounts fabricated.
 
Fantastic,thank you.To be honest i'm not bothered about the mufflers as they're going on a custom frame and will be modified accordingly.
