How customized is your bike?Originally posted by suzuki750 View Post

A full custom exhaust system will cost many hundreds of dollars. You might want to keep your eye's peeled on ebay for something nice but cheaper. As long as it's not all bashed up you can always send a used system for blasting and ceramic coating.Ed
To measure is to know.

The reason I asked about customization is because there should be a plethora of aftermarket systems that should bolt right up to your bike. One of the more common, and perhaps better, is the V&H Street Megaphone.

i called a few manufactures mac, delkevic and marving the 83 gs750 es seems to be a problem its only made 1 year but i think the vance and hines does work. the exhaust for the e and es are the same . just not a fan of the mega phone lookLast edited by suzuki750; 11-22-2020, 04:41 PM.Comment

I hear you. The first time I saw my bike (Oct '13), the exhaust looked too short. In my day, ('70's and '80's), 4-into-1's ended behind, not in front of, the rear axle. Kerker was the predominant style. I eventually switched to the V&H "SS" system, which resembles a modern 'canister' style. This is before I bolted the "SS" on:Originally posted by suzuki750 View Post

I can personally recommend Motogpwerks. I have one on my old es and I love it. They are here in California, but he sells on eBay

Ok thanks I'll check them outComment

The V&H "Street Megaphone" that was on my bike when I bought it needed repacking, according to the PO. I disagreed. It's a 'straight through' system and it sounded great.
The V&H "SS" canister I installed is not straight through and sounds a little tinnier. It's still sounds good, just not as beefy as the Street Megaphone.1982 GS1100E V&H "SS" exhaust, APE pods, 1150 oil cooler, 140 speedo, 99.3 rear wheel HP, black engine, '83 red

ok thanks for the info on the vance soundComment

With either V&H muffler you can get the street or competition baffle.... the competition baffle being a straight through design. I recently repacked my SS canister with the comp baffle..... I wouldn’t say it’s much quieter, if quieter at all.... but it sounds more full and not as tinny.
There aren’t many of the canister type out there, unfortunately; but the megaphones are fairly easy to come across and they work.-1980 GS1100 LT
