    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.

GS650 Exhaust fit question

I have a 82GS650 with a pretty beat up exhaust. Wasn't planning on doing anything to it, but I saw a fellow looking to swap a 4-1 from a 78 GS850 for a stock set of duals, wasn't picky about condition!
Jumped at the opportunity at first, but in reading through some forums it would seem that the headers won't fit from the 78 850 to the 82 650. :(
can someone confirm that for me before I contact the seller.
PS I do have the dyno-jet kit so that would not be an issue.
Thanks!
 
850 pipes won't fit. And first year for the 850 was the 1979 model year.
 
I believe the 550 pipes fit but I could be wrong so don't order anything for a 550!

On the other hand, a mac reverse cone exhaust does sound great.

Does that also mean that GS650 pipes might fit a 1981 GS550? The pipes on my 550T are ~OK, but I'm always looking for cleaner ones

They will fit the head but are unlikely to line up at the rear mounts.
