    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.

When replacing exhaust...

im in the market for new exhaust (i finally got paid :)). I noticed that i am missing a header bolt for both exuast headers, when they curve at the bottom they are rusting, it seems as if it has bottomed out a few times, and my mufflers are shot. What are my best routes to go. I have found many mufflers, but i have failed to come across new exhaust headers for my model of bike. Any pearls of wisdom would be appreciated.
 
Tanner, I have an 81GS400, and when my pipes gave out I went into the market for another set. The only thing I found around here was I think a Mac 2into1 system, but it was too much cost for my likeing, so I did the eBay thing and found a set from the GS450GA (automatic), they need to be sandblasted and repainted, but I'm running them with just the rust sanded off and high temp paint on them. Best of luck,
 
I think Mac is the only thing still made for GSs under 750cc. People who use them seem to like them, but they are pricey.

They are not necessarily pricey. Check out a local bike shop and ask about them. Note that MACS work, but they are not the very best in quality or longevity.

You might also check out an H-D place for original take-offs.
which can be adapted.
