GS850 4 into 1?

[Guest]

I'd like to replace my stock exhaust with a 4 into 1 header. I am not opposed to building one from scratch, but if there is a commercially available pipe, I would be interested. Some that I have seen, seem to drop way below the frame and ruin the lines of the bike. I read somewhere that a suzuki bandit might have a exhaust port spacing as the GS850? Any help would be appreciated.

am I to assume that both of these will interfere with the kickstarter on a '79, unless I modify the pipe?

Dont forget about your oil filter.

Hi,

Your first post didn't mention a year. It helps to put your year/model in your signature file so that we all know what we're talking about.

The Mac 4-n-2 shouldn't be a problem with your bike but the kickstart will be an issue with the V&H 4-n-1. The Laser exhausts also have nearly stock spec exhausts for these older bikes but I haven't looked up anything specifically for the '79.

Roger that, BC!

If you decide to go with a 4 into 1 header, will you be selling the stock exhaust? I am looking to buy a good clean, no rust stock exhaust system. Thanks,

still trying to find something that will work. I've been searching to find the answer about a Suzuki 1200 bandit pipe being close. Does anyone have some first hand experience with that?

And, if I do get a different pipe, I will be selling my system. The head pipes are very nice, and the mufflers look and sound good - but there is some rust through on the bottom.
