Any thoughts on exhaust systems 81 GS850G? New ... Used ... What fits etc...
I'm looking for 4 into 1 with a black finish and mellow tone .... Let the Harley guys go deaf.:-D
 
Hi,

Looks like a few manufactrurs made pipes for this vintage Suzuki bikes.
Vance and Hines definitely had a huge presence during that era as they
were the leader in after-market pipes for Suzuki. I like Kerker myself
with the ease of maintenance, cosmetics, performance, lightness, and
access to the drain plug and retention of the center stand. I've had
both of these pipes.

I like Kerker very much. I'm not sure if they are still in business ??

KT :-D\\:D/

I haven't been able to find a Kerker for my bike. I wish I could as I'd rather have one than a V&H. Not buying either one for a while as I just paid $120 fort a new R/R unit.
 
Wooster huh. My mother was a school teacher there. Off RT 30 right? Wayne County?

I was just looking at my Dennis Kirk catalouge and day dreaming. I also saw the Kerker pipes. I just did a Google and saw that they were bought by SuperTrapp. Bummer. I love my Kerker pipe.

I know. Once on twice a year there would be a whole family wiped out by some kid in a sports car going one-hundred miles an hour. :?
 
Yep, too bad. Kerkers made the best pipes on Earth. I loved their engineering and quality fit. Those pipes were a true plug and play
meaning no rejetting, and access to the oil drain plug and retaining
your center stand. Very well designed with replacable mufflers for
the do-it-yourself fiberglass repacking.

I do not like Vanes and Hines, and consider them junk. The mufflers
are riveted, and cannnot rebuild/repack them. No oil access and
goodbye to your center stand.

4-1 aftermarket exhausts used to cost no more than $200 for a
complete Kerker system 25 years ago. Now they are outrageous
at $500-$600.

Today, some exhaust companies sell you just the muffler piece
for $600. This is outragous !!
