Exhaust fitment

[Guest]

Will a 1980-86 4 into 1 exhaust fit a 78 gs750??

If it's for an '80-'86 750, likely not, but someone with more knowledge on the 750s would have to answer that for sure.

The 750 engine changed drastically in '80, I just don't know how compatible the exhaust might be.

I left out some information I apologize... The exhaust is a V&H for an 80-86 gs1000... My bike is a 1978 gs750... It's a great price for a new scratch and dent exhaust and didn't know if it would fit

Interesting pipe.

The chain-driven 1000 ended with the '80 model year, the shafty went a year longer, ending in '81.

I wonder where they found the '82-'86 models.

One more thing to consider: the bolt spacing on the collars. I know for a fact that the spacing is different on the 850 and 1000, and since the 850 is pretty much based on the 750, I would guess it's different there, too.

So I'd have to slot the flange to fit.. that's not bad... They are only asking 200 for the system with only a few "out of box" handling scratches on it ... Nothing im concerned about... Are there any other issues with fitment??
