    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...

Hi there I am new to this forum, but an active member of the Sundial Racing Vintage Suzuki 2-stroke forum. My main ride is a 1970 T350 2-stroke cafe racer. I'm Fang there too, But my ::real:: name is Steve.
I have a set of GS550 exhaust pipes for sale on evilBay (click here to see the auction) that I got from my buddy AlexLockhart who used to live on this forum, and now I have a question for the experts. He rode his '78 GS550 over 14,000 miles this summer all over N. America. CLICK HERE to see his amazing travelogue and read his strange stories... He bought the bike for $450.00 just before he left for the trip and used your help to get it ready to go. I am selling his old, stock 4 in to 2 exhaust because I found a 4 to 1 header that we traded before his trip.

Somebody asked me a question and I don't know the answer. Will this 1978 GS550E exhaust fit on a 1983 GS550L?

Thanks!

You could probably make it fit, but I would have to say NO
 
The exhaust ports on the '83 engine are smaller than on previous 550s, and closer together.

Not even close.
