Will these swap out??

[chuck hahn]

Will stock exhaust on a 83 1100 GK directly swap to my 82 1100 GL? I think it will..hopefully!!!

Surprised no one has answered this yet lol

Perhaps.......but, they are different exhausts. The GK is specific to GK's. I'm guessing you would have to do some fiddling with the rear mounting points.

thats what i was afraid of..i got a sweet set from ammeber that wants my 1100 like new Vand H 4 into 1s. I want to be all stock on my bikes and we were gonna even up swap. Wahts the differences in the mounting points? Bolt spacing? what?

L exhaust is more up swept and shorter. GK Is longer and straight
Different rear mounts

So, Squaredancerlynn..He wants the Vand H 4 into ones i have that are for the 82 to 86 GS 1100 according to the paperwork. I need a good set of stock for my 82 1100 GL and his is an 83 GK. So your saying the lower straighter GKs wont bolt up to my more upswung GL..am i following correctly?

They might. That's a qualified "maybe". I put "G" pipes on my "L" and they bolted right up with a minimum of trouble.

yes but theres the issue of the different muffler styling, and the Gs are a lot farther back at the ends than the Ls..i am gonna pass. He just sent me a pic of them on his bike and i compared that to my bike..

[chuck hahn]

I told him i would sell him my Vand H and hold his money order..if he doesnt like them once he gets them on his bike he can send them back and i will send him his money order back.. thats fair enough i think.
