    Help Tuning A Stock '83 GS1100GL

    I just normally replace the springs, especially if out of specs, Or whenever I install new fiber plates, just think how many times they have been depressed, the age, and the heat fatigues metal also. Cheap and a wise choice to replace while in there. Like everyone else has recommended.

    Want to purchase vance and hines exhaust 12009. Where can i get the best price??

    Cheapest I can find is 379.00 with free shipping for the V+H 12009 on E bay. I work at a dealership and may get it a little cheaper but I will have tax and shipping that's usually the killer.
