    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...

    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 was looking for exhaust for my 1979 GS1000EN. No luck. So, I contacted the Vintage parts programme. It seems if Suzuki can get enough interest. They will remanufacture the part again.


Good Morning Bradley,

It's incredibly difficult due to many reasons: minimum order quantities, end price, tooling costs, etc. As an example, we were close to reproducing GSX-R1100 mufflers, but the end price of ?1600.00 was deemed to high with a MOQ of a minimum of 300 pieces. We'll keep up the pressure when we can. Thanks for contacting us.

1,600pound, that's about $2,100 USD, pricey. I can buy a Honda/Sankei re-issue of my 6 into 2 CBX pipes for $1,300 USD, this is the 2nd time Honda has done this for the CBX community. The re-issued pipes are an improved replica of the originals, so good they're stamped with a replica ID number so that no one can resell them as NOS.

Maybe an email to Six Center Motoren to inquire how that reissue was organized could be applied to Suzuki exhaust request as well. https://www.sixcenter.nl/index.html
 
I believe that won't do any good Stateside, as the program only sells in Europe
