    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.

Hi

I picked up my 1981 GS1100E last night.
Before leaving we started it up to make sure it worked but holy S**T....
at 2000rpm and I could barely hear him talk. The pipes are 4in1 black. Can not say what make it is cause there are no markings.

I'm sure once the tuneup is done it will sound better, but still loud, but untill then I need a simple way for reducing the noise so I can work on it with out ****ing every one around me.


Any suggestions?
 
More important, does there appear to be any fasteners at the tail end of the silencer? They could be brads, allen screws, phillips, etc.
If you can give us a few shots it would help.
My Kerker on my current ride, for example, has 3 allen head screws which I can remove, pull the baffle out, and repack with the silencing material of my choice.
 
Thanks for the input. I get the feeling I will have lots of questions about this bike.

Take a look at the pic.

Yes it's a nice ride! Can't wait to ride her!
 
That baffle should slip out one way or anothe and you stalky in as wool
 
Looks like a Yoshi header to me. :cool:
Re-pack the muffler and be happy. :dancing:

Got her started tonight and the fibreglass wrap helped allot! I can hear myself talk. THANKS GUYS!

Should I add some high temp sealer around the inner pipe baffle edge with pipe? It is not a tight fit since the guy that fixed it banged it up somewhat.
 
I'd leave the joint alone or you may never get the pipe apart in the future. A little leakage is par for the course on a header like that.
