    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...

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.

I'm thinking of buying the V&H 4-1 megaphone exhaust system for my '80 GS850G but I'm not sure about a few things. Do the collars come with the exhaust? I'm looking to buy from either motorcycle-superstore or partzilla. The current exhaust system I have is an unknown make/model and I'm nervous that I won't have all the parts I need.
 
I have an 80' 850 GS in my garage. It has a brand new 4-1 on it, I was told it was a v&Hines....but I literally got the bike and pushed it into the corner. I never saw the name on it. I will look this weekend and verify brand, but it does come with the solid, chromed bolt flanges on it.
You could also message the seller and ask. They may not show in the advertising picture to make them appear clean/ sleek....aka digitally removed for the photo or left off on that set.
I would be curious to see a pic of the set you currently have.
 
Yeah, it's a bolt-on system, the flanges are on the exhaust. You should replace the exhaust gaskets when you do and jetting may be required. If it is a drag pipe, however, peg and rear mount changes will need to be made.

With the Vance & Hines 4-1, it works better if you use two exhaust gaskets for each pipe.

I'll have to take a pic when I take it off. Its completely black (matte) with a really crappy baffle system. Thanks for the advice!

Is this common with most 4 into 1's that you have to double up on the exhaust gaskets? I remember having to do that with my Marvin exhaust and figured it must have been a mistake on the manufacturer or mine.
