    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.

Can anyone tell me if a stock exhaust off of a 1979 GS 1000 will fit a 1982 GS 1100L. Thank you in advance for all replies.
 
I cant say for sure but I sincerely doubt it. the L models pipes route wider under the frame than do the standard pipes. I know I tried it. Once mounted the new pipes would not clear the side stand or center stand and still have the balance tube work. You would be better off finding an L exhaust or going to the Vance Hines 4 into 1s. Sorry if that wasn't what you wanted to hear.

On the right is standard GS 1000 pipes. on the left are GS1000L pipes. notice the difference in the width that passes under the frame. Chances are if you look at your GS1100L you will see a similar appearance.

I TOOK THE EXHAUST OFF A 1980 GS1100E AND ADAPTED THEM TO MY BIKE
BY ENLONGATEING THE MOUNTING BRAKCETS TO THE REAR PEGS IT WORKS GREAT
 
I also can't say for sure, but I will try and reason it out for you. The pre-1980 1000's are two valve heads, and likely have different exhaust manifold spacings. It is also very possible that the port size is different, but maybe not? As siad before, the L pipes have different routings under the frame as well, so I am doubting it will be an easy swap over.

Guys, this thread is two years old...:lol:
Someone did some digging. At least they searched instead of creating a new thread, gotta admire that.
 
LOL, I wonder if my post will finally help this guy?
