    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

1979 850 with loud MAC 4/2, hoping to find stock pipes...what years will interchange?

Having no luck with the search function....Apologies if this is a common question and I've missed it.

On the parts fiche, the part #s change somewhat between 79 and later years... but has anyone had experience/luck using later years' mufflers on a 1979 850G?

The headers are fine...and the MAC flare tips are OK but kind of loud, and way less classy than stock.

I seem to find more 80-83 exhausts in OK shape than '79 ones. Wondering if the measurements would still line up....

Thank you,
Robin E
 
The head pipes themselves should be no problem. The only differences you might run into is the rear mount. That said looking at pics of a 1979 side by side with my bike that had original exhaust on it when I got it I can see no appreciable differences.
 
I have a good 80 GS1000G pipe.
If you are in the US it won't be too bad to ship via fedex.
