GS1000 exhaust

[arve]

I came across a dude who was selling NOS exhaust parts. Among his stuff were some unused mufflers for a GS 1000G. I know there is a difference between those and the GS1000E mufflers, which are the ones I need. But what is it? Are the pipes similar except for brackets and stuff like that or does it have a different appearance?(if im gonna buy it has to be exactly like the originals, or I might as well buy a rusty 4-1 pipe and paint it black.) For a while ago I had the chance to buy an original, unused, complete system for $500, but I had to let it go since I was outa funds... I saw some rusty pipes on ebay just now and the starting bid was $400! Not quite what I'm looking for since it will cost me at least $1000 to get them rechromed... If it can be done at all.(the chrome firm didnt want mufflers which couldnt be dismantled..) So will the G pipes fit with a little tinkering? And will they look original?

Yes, you can make them fit. Salty Monk (Dan) had a set of E pipes on his G I believe, so you might want to check the archives or PM him for more info.

The G pipes bolt right on

Sandy has them on his 79 1000

They're just a bit shorter in the muffler

I believe the center stand bumper location is different between the shaft drive and chain drive pipes.
