    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    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.

idle curiosity here (get it, idle?), but i've got an '83 GS1100E with a stock airbox and Supertrapp 4-1, and I have a (non working) 78 GS1000E with pods and a Kerker 4-1.

I like the look of the kerker better. it's black and awesome and has cool angles.

Will these exhausts swap? even if they'd both fit, would the bike run appropriately or would it require rejetting?

I'm assuming this would be a pretty big pain in the ass and require a lot more finessing than i'm interested in doing, especially considering that the 1100 works and runs great as is, but I have to admit every time I see the Kerker is kind of makes me wonder.
 
It'll fit at the head, may need an adapter strap at the back

Jetting should be close

Go ahead, give it a try. It's less than an hour to swap them out

that's assuming i don't snap 5/8 header bolts (the way i did when removing the exhaust from my 850G) :disillusionment:
