    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.

Alright, so I'm certain that this topic has probably been beaten to death, but I found a rust hole in the side of my '81 GS 750 L's left muffler. As I have read on here, a common swap is to pull take-offs from a Harley Sportster or a Soft Tail and use the stock headers and crossover section. However, I just checked underneath the bike and found that the former owner must have gone crazy and welded the muffler to the header and collector sections. I'm thinking of taking it to an exhaust shop in town (that works on cars mostly) and having them lop the mufflers off with an acetylene torch and then tack my new ones on. Has anyone else seen this? If so, what did you do?
 
I am thinking my OEM pipes are exactly as you described. May not be the PO fault...
Someone recently had a thread on attaching some reverse cone dunstall muff on their OEM pipes. Search those terms and I bet you'll find it in the not too distant past. Maybe two weeks. I replied with the words "cocktail shaker" IIRC
 
Hmm, I couldn't seem to find that post. Do you think you have a link? I'm thinking of just picking up some mufflers from an older Sportster without the crossover pipe. Also wondering if there's any trick to getting the stock airbox back on. I have to loosen the rubber boots yesterday to replace my head gasket and by the time I was done with that fiasco, I was too tired to fight with it anymore. Any advice?
