    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.

ok, so i need to replace the exhaust on my 83 GS850GL. flipping through a catalog or two, i find lots of replacement systems for 750's and 850's up to about 80, and then....



nothing.

will the systems for earlier bikes, or for the 750 instead of the 850, work? i've seen/heard/read that (basically) the 850 engine is just a bored out 750. true? are exhaust port diameters similar, or at least "close enough" to work?

please and thanks
matt
 
I can't guarantee compatibility with the 750s (at least make sure they are the 8-valve 750s), but you should be good with any year 850. :D
