    exhaust question(s)

    ok, so i need to replace the exhaust on my 83 GS850GL. flipping through a catalog or two, i find lots of replacement systems for 750's and 850's up to about 80, and then....



    nothing.

    will the systems for earlier bikes, or for the 750 instead of the 850, work? i've seen/heard/read that (basically) the 850 engine is just a bored out 750. true? are exhaust port diameters similar, or at least "close enough" to work?

    please and thanks

    I can't guarantee compatibility with the 750s (at least make sure they are the 8-valve 750s), but you should be good with any year 850.
