    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.

Help with Exhaust System identification

Just a quick follow up.... I heard from the guy who sold me the exhaust. These came from his friend who owned a GS1100ES and they sold them to me as pipes for the 1100E/ES.

After my mistake came to light, I questioned the owner and found out that he also owned an '83 1100 Kat and now assumes that is the bike the pipes originated from.

So, to properly list these pipes would be 1983 Suzuki Katana GS1100S/SZ/SD......correct?

Yes '82 on
 
The Kat's sold in France had only one outlet, maybe due to some noise regulation law?
Mine are also in flat black as I recovered them from a bike that was salvaged from a fire.
All aluminium parts were melted but the exhaust was fine except for the chrome.

I believe that all the Kat pipes have only one centre outlet, some pipes have the plate on the back. It is cosmetic only
