    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.

V&H 4 into 1 question

The crossover pipe on my 850 is rotting away rather quickly now, so I figure I'll put a 4-1 set on. Couple of questions, though. First, any real difference between the Mac and V&H? I see the Mac all over ebay, and usually cheaper that the V&H (which is $320 on CycleReCycle). Also, will I have to consider changing jets? I plan to leave the stock airbox, so I don't know if the new pipes will affect my fuel or not. Thanks.

If all you do is change the pipe with no intake mods you'll probably be alright on the jetting. The V&H is probably a little higher quality.

I have the vance an hines on my 850, Its a very good quality pipe,with a nice sound,I have made NO jetting changes,as I use the stock airbox setup, It runs fine.Quality of the pipe is top notch.If you shop around (on the net)I have seen that pipe for 290 or a little less.
 
I prefer the V&H pipe. I'm assuming you want the chrome megaphone?
As with any exhaust mod, test and get some plug reads. If the motor's flowing better, the plugs will lean out some. Depends on throttle position and the reads as to what jetting needs to be done.
 
New V&H system listed in <www.denniskirk.com> catalog @ $298.95. Part number 25-440 is for '79-'81 GS850G/GL "L". I wanted the original look for my '81 GS850G, so I installed a new replacement system. Pricey though,@ $450.00. Looks good, has a welded cross-over tube, less weight than stock, easy install. If interested, go to <www.laserexhaust.com>. Good luck.
 
I'm running the V+H on my 700. Good quality, no issues, and no jetting was needed.

Its a nice sound too, although it is a little odd to go from stero exhaust to having it on just the right. :-D

Vance & Hines is the way to go, no mistaking the sound of a V&H on a Suzuki!\\:D/
