    what is the model of my GS ?

    sorry, I've read the sheet with the years/modes/etc and I understand nothing

    I've a 750 but there are E, ET, EZ .....

    it seems it's important to order exhaust

    my bike is a GSX750L and it seems to be a '80

    engine number is gs75X-101nnn (everybody always told me never give whole numbers on Internet, perhaps is somewhere a link in a db between my engine number and my VISA)

    I would suggest looking at the gallery on this site to see if you recognize your bike. The year should be listed on the badge on the head tube (steering tube). If this is missing you might want to call a dealer with your VIN# and see if he can determine the year.

      You probably have a GSX750LT..the "T" indicates the year of manufacture, the "L" indicates it is the cruiser model, the "X" means it was sold outside the USA, and the "GS" means it is a damn fine motorcycle!

      Look at this link...Frank has put together a very good guide to GS model identification here.

        Yes, it sounds like an '80 GS(GSX)750LT. Engine number confirms 1980. Don't buy an exhaust for an E model, the baffle may not bolt up to your frame.

          great !

          txs everybody

          I've also an answer for a non yet posted question : with a "T" one, what kind of exhaust ? is "ET" ok ?

          some remarks :

          * my bike is probably (read surely) a rebuided one, with a lot of pieces founded here and there, the tank is whole black, there is a added "home made" sissybar , pipes of the airbox are surely not legacy, steering bar is a "T" bar, etc..., so I can only trust the engine and frame #, not a picture gallery

          * exhaust is now a 4 in 1 instead , to be replaced, probably by a 4 in 1 too

          * I'll surely never become "picture of the month" with this bike )

            The ET is the same year as your bike but has a different frame. The four pipes coming out of the cylinder head are the same, but the mounting bracket for the rear baffle (muffler) may be different. You should try to find an exhaust made for your model. Have you checked with Kirker, Vance & Hines, or Yoshimura?

              the mounting on the frame is not the mather, I can make my own mounting bracket

              the most important is the mounting of the pipes on the engine

              the actual exhaust is a 4 in 1 but I cannot change the muffler, it's a all in one exhaust

              I'm now looking for something in western europe (cheapest for transport cost )

                I checked the Vance & Hines website and they do show one for '80-'81 GS750L.
