Yamaha XS1100 exhaust on a gs750?

[Guest]

Marshall Deeptone 4 Into 1 from a Yamaha XS1100.
Do you know if this is compatible with my 1979 gs750e? I would like to upgrade from my rusty original 4-2.

I would say no, it will not fit. If you check here, marshall does not even list a pipe for your bike

Not sure what would be available in your part of the world but I would look for a V&H or Kerker that would fit your bike.

If your originals are solid but have some surface rust, why not have them ceramic coated?

It looks as if it won't fit by a long way. Anything's possible but to get it to work will be a lot of effort.

I looked up the exhaust gasket sizes for the 2 bikes, and they are close.
GS750: 38 x 46 x 5,0mm
XS1100: 38 x 44,5 x 5,0mm

Then it only comes down to, if the bends and length of the header pipe allows it to run close around the frame and motor, and perpendicular in on the head. The mounting brackets are no problem, as it will be easy to fabricate something.

The price for this used part is better than a new, but far from free. Tempting
