83 GS 850 G exhaust????

I recently bought my first bike and chose an '83 GS850G. The bike I bought has a bad exaust on it. All ofthe exhaust I am finding are for an 80-81. I did find one on ebay which claims to fit a 79-83 made by Jardine. If the Jardine one will fit a 79 to 83 then wouldn't the 80-81 Vance and Hines fit an 83 also????

Any help would be appreciated.
 
I think the only noteable differences between the 850s was the "standard" and the "L" models. I don't know for sure, but the L might have different hanger mount locations.
I do know the stock pipes were shorter on the "L", just don't know about the hanger locations.

GS850G Exhaust

GS850G Exhaust

Just curious to know if you ever found a supplier for an exhaust system that would fit your bike. I haven't been able to find one for mine. 1982 GS850G
 
Were I you, i would visit the Vance and Hines website and email them...ive emailed them with a couple questions regarding my 77 750 pipe and they've been very quick to respond. Usually the next day, tho one time it did take a couple days to respond. Im sure they'd be able to tell you. However I dont think that the 850 motor changed much at all durring its lifespan in design. SO the ports should be the same, it would just be a matter of the hangers like Steve said.
 
Between '79 and '80 a "collector" and bracket was added to the exhaust, but the exhausts are still basically exchangable.

In other words an exhaust that will fit a '79 G should fit an '83 G.

When I bought my new exhaust both Jardine and Vance/Hines had new 4-1 exhausts that were available.
