    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.

G vs E exhaust differences

What is the difference. I'm looking at exhaust systems for Natalie (my 82 GS1100GK)
Was checking out Marving's offerings, and they offer a really nice exhaust for an 1100E but all they offer for the G is mufflers.
 
A set for a G should work just fine. You basically have a G, anyway, even though it looks different now.

As for the differences, the G mufflers were a bit longer than the E mufflers. Actually, the G mufflers were pretty much like the E mufflers in the '79 and older E bikes. In '80, the E bikes' mufflers changed, the G mufflers did not, and continued right through the last of the Gs and GKs in '84.

Thanks Steve.
What I'm wondering though, is what would happen if I tried to put an E header on my G. I'm not worried about mufflers, which is ironic, because that's all that Marving's seem to have for the G is mufflers.
are the E heads taller than the G heads? wondering if that's why my exhaust hangs down so far. I'd had to spend the money on a new one and have the same problem.
 
The question being about "mufflers" kind of mis-lead me a bit, I forgot that "header pipes" are part of the system, too. :oops:

I don't know if the header pipes on the 16-valve engines are taller than the pipes on the 8-valve engines.

All of the 16-valve GSes have chains going to the rear wheel, we don't have any of <them> around here. :encouragement:
