Need new Exhaust on 83

Hi guys. I am wondering if the exhaust that fits a 83 katana 750 would fit my 83 750ed. Specifically part #12001P from Vance & Hines... Also are these exhaust systems the head pipe and muffler? http://www.vanceandhines.com/c106.html

Thank you in advance.

That pipe will not fit the '83-'86 GS750/700 engine. It will fit the '80-'82 GS750 engines. In 1983, Suzuki came out with a totally new, lightweight, high HP GS750 engine. For some reason, they didn't put it into the Katana that year, but put it into the E and ES.

There is currently NO exhaust made to fit our bikes. There is a guy who sells four into one Supertrapp headers fairly often on ebay. Bidding on them usually starts at $10 and they generally end up going for $20-$50.

You can also (with some modifications) make an early GSXR header fit this motor as well. It's been discussed on the board before, a quick search should find it.

I'm restoring an '85 GS700ES, and just scored a stock exhaust on ebay for under $100. It's in 90% condition, and I'm pleased as punch.

Good luck.
 
I've got the same bike as you. '83 750E. I bought one of the 4-1 Supertrapp headers on e-bay. It was $64 shipped. Then I found a guy selling supertrapp cans. I think it ended up ~$98 shipped. I bought 1 of the first ones he sold and last I checked that was about the highest paid.

However, for less than $170 I have a really nice exhaust. :lol:

I must tell ya though, when I bought this bike about a year ago, it already had a 4-1 on it.

Keep looking on e-bay, something will come up.

BTW, I've also seen the guy selling Supertrapp cans for Kawasaki's, they look identical to what I bought. Just FYI.
 
I found a supertrapp header on ebay last night. I bid pretty high, so I think I will probably end up with it. Now I just have to find the can. They have the universal ones in dennis kirk, so I might just buy one of those, and have the tab welded on. I am going to keep looking for one on ebay though. Thanks for the info!
 
I needed the left side megaphone only. I wandered into the only motorcycle wrecker in Saskatchewan and told him what I wanted. He actually laughed at me! We (GS750ED/S) owners have a fairly rare bike in Canada. He led me into the dungeon of his warehouse, pointed at racks of exhausts and told me to have a look. I got lucky, a basically new pipe, slight scratch on the end of the phone lip.
The guy recommended the next time, get some universal fit megaphones, unfortunately they will be chrome. So I guess I will be plating them black or something.
