    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.

Will '83 GK 1100 V&H pipe fit '80 750E?

Alright I've searched the archives forward and back, and browsed the descriptions on eBay for similar items, but I'm getting mixed signals. Most of the confusion is because people don't distinguish between the 16v and 8v motors.

Anyway, I'm wondering if anyone can definitively say whether a 4-1 V&H pipe on an '83 1100 GK 8 valve (fitment probably not any different from a regular "G", right?) will work on a '80 750E 16 valve.

I'm not terribly concerned about the hanger at the rear as I'm sure I can work something out if it doesn't match up. Mainly I need to know whether the port spacing and frame clearance will be workable. I'm not sure the shaft versus chain will be much of an issue here, so the real question is: will a V&H pipe from an 1100 8v fit a 750 16v?

Anybody?

Like on the Suzuki fiche? That doesn't surprise me, as I'm sure brackets and mounting and such are way different. I'm wondering if anybody's ever tried it and whether it can be "made" to work without too much trouble...?
 
I looked up the VH pipe on Dennis kirk for the 80 750E and clicked see other machine fitment (or something like that). No G models showed up. But if the headers fit I guess anything is possible?

Ahh gotcha. Yeah I did the same thing at another retailer so I know it's not a *perfect* fit, but here's hoping it can be "shoehorned" on. ;-)
