exhaust system swap...............

[bflobob]

Hi Guys ..someone just gave me a new exhaust system for a 1979 gs 1000 and i have a 1980 gs850 g..will it swap ..only thing that looks different is the part that goes into the head on the 850 are all the same ..but on the 1000 two outer are different than the two inner pipes..thanks for any input.

I'm not sure, but if it doesn't fit, I'll buy it off you! :-D

I am in a similar situation, except my donor pipes are off of a 1980 1000g and I want to put them on a 1979 850g.

Sorry that this isn't any help.

I'm going to take a guess here. They both take the same exhaust gasket, so the diameters should be the same. The 1000 pipe has half moon spacers on the two inside pipes, so you can remove the clamps I assume. The clamps are different part numbers. So I would say they will fit if the 1000 clamps will work and if the spacing between the two bikes is the same.
