Hello guys. I'm new here but not to the game. This one has me stumped. I just picked up a '78 GS1000 from shed storage since 1980. The owner has long passed so I can't ask him what it is. He had all kinds of goodies bolted to this thing, this exhaust being one of them. It was chrome and may get re-chromed depending on what it is. Does anybody have any ideas what it is? It's very short, it mounts low on a completely horizontal plain, fits very well, and is loud. It has been bolted on the bike since at least 1980. Thanks guys!

Looks like a Yoshimura but the tab at the back is the wrong side for a 1000 (or maybe they changed it at some point... mine was a pain to get the rear bolt into place as you had to do it from the back...) :)
 
I would guess early Yosh as well.
Had one similar shape but a bit smaller diameter muffler.
If the packing around the baffle is a dense foam-like material it is probably a Yosh.
 
I don't think it's a Yosh, because it should have two rivets at the back of the can where the Yosh emblem was attached

it definately looks like that Yosh thats on ebay. i dont think i have seen a left handed 4 into 1 on a GS before, different i suppose.
i guess there may be some kickstand clearance issues?
 
I am missing the left side reference?
Same pipe, just painted. He also has a bunch of Yosh engine parts on auction.

its confusing, it looks like a right side exhaust but the rear hanger bracket is surely on the wrong side of the exhaust, or am i missing something here as well? :confused:
 
FWIW, I had a pipe like that years ago,only on a Honda and it was a Jardine.
