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.

i want to put some new mufflers on my '78 GS750, does anyone have any recomendations as to brand or company? I would like to stay with a look that is close to stock, if possible.
 
I believe MAC sells both a 4 into 1 and 2 into 1's for your bike. With the 2 into 1's, you shouldn't need to re-jet. If you want some additional performance from your bike, buy a Vance & Hines 4 into 1, some K&N pods, and a jet kit.
 
The Vance & Hines exhaust sounds flippin' AWESOME. Not really all that loud, actually, but a lovely deep rippling burble. Expensive, though.

The Mac just sounds, well... kinda eh. Buzzy and shrill by comparison. Mac stuff is somewhat cheaper.

I believe JonR has used both on his 750, and it sounds totally righteous with the V&H. V&H stuff tends to look nicer and hold up a bit better, IMHO.

You DO have to rejet and use pods.
 
If you just need to replace the mufflers, some here have had great success with welding on discarded stock Harley mufflers.

Some have even reported that grateful Hardley-Ableson dealers have happily invited them to carry away all the mufflers they could, since over 99% of the brave nonconformists who buy Hardleys immediately replace the exhausts with lifesaving open pipes, purely out of selfless regard for their fellow man.

Pick up some assless chaps while you're there...

Dennis Kirk sells a replacement set of muffler made by an Italian company called SITO. They look very similar to stock and are quiet, easy to install, and look great! I just put a set on my 79' GS850(same part # as the GS750) and they were the answer I was looking for. The cost is a little steep $253 but the quality is 1st class.

Whoops, sorry -- can you turn on your "'Merkin" to "Strine" dialect translation software? I'll try to get to Outback Steakhouse soon to soak up some authentic Aussie phrases from reading the menu... :twisted:
