    DIY baffle and tip for my GS1000G 4 into 1 exhaust

    Hi guys

    I decided to remove my exhaust and had a look at the baffle cause the bike is to loud. I discovered there was no packing around the old baffle and that the exhaust was shorten. It was made into a straight pipe.

    I made a new baffle and tip. 20151002_073941.jpg

        Very nicely done. It looks the job.
        Baffle screwed/bolted on the tip?
        How is the sound?

          Thanks. It is welded on with a CO2 welder.
          It is very quiet. Almost to quiet. A deep sound.

                  Do not worry, I guess I've read one too many Wilbur Smith a book...

                        Terminals are Sito aftermarket units; as are the blinkers, which have a round stem instead of the square one. Do not know if this model year/month is supposed to have or round rectangular turn signals.
                        The headlamp is an 8'' unit with aftermarket reflector which really shines a light.
                        Headlamp ears are from a 650GS (from a "negligent" seller).
                        Fork trimming (the lower triple cover) is missing.
                        But, we'll get there.
                        How about yours?

                          Mirrors I think is wrong. Is yours original?
                          Need the front crash bars.
                          Exhaust is 4 into 1. Would love to have the original 4 into 2.
                          The seat cover is not original.
                          Is the paint original?
