Hey, I bought a gs750 parts bike that has been sitting outside many years, with the intent to take it apart, learn a little, and sell the big parts. This exhaust is in very rough shape, but it would be sad to throw it away since they look like they're $500ish new. I didn't want to weld repair the hole, as I think they could change the sound it's meant to have? Maybe I should just sell the slipon and scrap the rest? Thanks in advance, pictures attached.

You might sandblast it, fix the hole by welding it and grinding it smooth, or if it isn't too bad fix it with JB Weld then spray it all black.1979 GS1000S,

Since I'm not a professional I don't want to try and "hide" the damage, so do you think before and after pictures is plenty transparent?Originally posted by nvr2old View PostComment

Sandblast, patch welded on, repaint. I don't think you need before photos when selling. Simply state that a hole was welded up with the pach as shown.Ed

That's the way my V&H was when it came attached to my 11E. At some point, the header chrome has just gone too far and the P.O. took a rattle can and gave it the Rolling Stones treatment. He left the megaphone silver, and that look has become quite popular.1982 GS1100E V&H "SS" exhaust, APE pods, 1150 oil cooler, 140 speedo, 99.3 rear wheel HP, black engine, '83 red

I say repair it. Correct me if I'm wrong. But I don't think V&H makes these anymore.Comment

Yeah I'm not sure if they make it anymore, either way it would feel like a huge waste to only sell the slipon part.Originally posted by Pbstn View PostComment
