    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...

    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.

'80 to '79 exhaust conversion

I need a new(newer) exhaust and I am considering trying a 1980 exhaust on my '79. I've been told this can be done but i don't want to do a lot of modifications to the frame.

I'm not sure if there is a bracket that helps support the premuffler onto the frame on an '80?

On the '79 the only support is at the head and just under the rear foot peg. Is the rear support in the same spot on the '80 as it is on the '79?

I'm bidding on an '80 exhaust as i write and wanted to know if/when i am the lucky owner of it that this is a fairly easy conversion.

Thanks for the advise.
 
Not sure about the rear mounts, but the pre-muffler is attached to the oil pan with three bolts.

Does your '79 oil pan have tapped holes for those bolts? :-k

.
 
Not sure about the oil pan tapped holes. I'll check out some microfiche, if that'll even show me. I'm at work so i'm unable to look now and the auction closes in a few hours.
 
it appears on microfiche that both oil pans look alike. Unless they use a common screw that holds the oil pain onto the case???
