    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.

Hi, i just start
30hx89w.jpg
ed to make a bassani like exhaust for my 8V 1000.
I dont have a pipe bender, i only cut slots in a 3" exhaust tubing to make a template to have it bent localy.
I forgot to ask what radius they have but i will work with what they have.
The headers is a gs1000 bassani but after trying to find a rear portion with no luck i started mine.
The canister is a little more angled, my bike dosent have passenger pegs.

Edit: i cannot move the first pic out of the text i dont know how.

Marc, if your bosses find out you are doing all this welding at work you are going to get in trouble.
I hope the CB350 is not cutting into your GS time.
 
The cb dont cut the gs time, only the money.
Last weekend i was in your neigborhood spying bikes at the mosport vrra festival.
It was a great week end.
I will go to the pipe bender tuesday after work, if they can bend large radius it would be great.
The pipe will be mandrel bend.

I want those Marzocchi shocks. I think it would look real good on my bike. :D

Interesting project here. I'll watch. :)
 
The shocks where a find on ebay canada for 92$ shipped.The guy only listed the auction " 13" shocks suzuki honda", this set was under the radar.
You can watch for a set off a honda they fit and seem to be more common than the gs ones.
The only problem is that the "honda peoples" bid furiously.
I will have to weld a tab on the swingarm for the torque arm and some bracket for the pipe.
Its not a project only a exhaust change.
