If you want taller gearing on a GS shaftie, get an 84 GK. Otherwise, you'll have to live with the lower gearing on the 850.

Regarding the pipes, Suzuki changed the muffler hangers in '82 and the early 850 pipes are not a direct bolt on.
And I agree with Lynn, don't trust people on the condition of exhaust systems - insist on photos (even at that, the pipes may not be as nice as the person states).
If you don't mind spending some money you might want to chase down a Jama exhaust for your bike. Not commonly distributed in the US anymore but high quality stuff if you can find them. http://www.laserexhausts.com/en/modu...-exhausts.html

I'm with you on this one. I ordered fork seals for my 650E from old bike barn, and it took 3 weeks to get them and no one answered the phone.(they were all at a motorcycle convention somewhere)
I will only go through them as a last resort.
