    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.

OK,

I have got my GS 850L running pretty good now it has a little stumble going through the power range, Someone cut the baffles out of the stock mufflers, Could this be causing the stumble I am haveing? If so does anyone know where I can find cheap slide on mufflers to replace it, Long term I am going to replace the whole system with Vance & Hines V12009 4 to 1 system.


Thanks

Jason

Others on here have suggested a visit to your local Hardley dealer - they sometimes have factory take-offs for sale cheap. Seems all the 'loud pipes save lives' types take off the mufflers immediately and the dealers build up a pile of them that no one wants.
 
The cut out baffles probably leaned out your fuel mixture causing the stumbles. Going to the V&H is good though you'll have to rejet anyways. If you decide to add a K&N drop in air filter and the V&H pipe for sure you'll have to rejet.

My pipes are rusted out so I'll have to replace eventually too. I bought two Emgo Shorty mufflers and two glass packs for a round $70 from partshark total that eventually I'll put on. though now that I have them, they might look a bit silly with how small they are.

Do you have to cut your mufflers to add a slip-on muffler? I haven't looked too closely at the exhaust, but it looks like it is welded. Mildly hesitant about doing irreversible cuts on the muffler if I could avoid it.

You cut right at the base of the muffler. The emgo mufflers slip over the pipe. It should include a few adapters for different sized pipes. I have the emgo dunstall style mufflers and that is what I did.
