    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.

Recomendation for 4-1 Performance Exhaust for GS850G??

Your bike looks good, not at all like the average 850G. ;)
What are the handlebars off of? They look like the ES bars on one of my 1000G's.

Found a coatings shop that will sandblast and flame-spray aluminum coat (alumicoat) my header for me for around $150.00.... Think I'm going to pull it off the bike and go for it.

I take it the alumicoat serves to cover/fill in any pitting on the header? Just wondered, as to the reason you didn't opt for ceramic coating, for its thermal & protective benefits (though it would be more expensive, for sure).
Nice looking bike....that exhaust turned out great!:cool:

Well... when we raced SCCA, we had a GT-1 car that had 180-degree headers on it that we had alumicoated. Car would come off the track and we could darn near change plugs immediately. The aluminum coating prevents corrosion and helps hold heat in the pipe. Never considered ceramic coating. If I were going to that expense, I'd have just bought new headers I think. Also, I knew I'd be painting them black, and the paint sticks very well on the aluminum base.

Thanks, Daniel. As far as I know, the bars are stock GS850GT bars... They were on the bike when I got it.

I actually made an adjustment to them today and rotated them back toward the seat a little more. I keep thinking that I might want to try some CAFE or clip-on bars, but I'm not quite there yet. Would love to get a chance to sit on a bike that had them to figure it out.

Here is another angle showing the new "Competition" Baffle...
