Katana exhaust

[johnlad]

Has anyone got an idea if the twin exhaust from a 1980 GS550 katana
will fit a 1978 GS550?

Johnlad, first want to welcome you to forum. Not sure if I understand your question. If you are trying to find out if a twin cylinder exhaust will fit a four cylinder 550, the short answer is no. However, since I have never heard of a 550 Katana twin, I will assume you mean will a 550 four cylinder katana exhaust from 1980 fit a 78 550, which is also a four cylinder. I would bet they would match up just fine. At least to the motor, not sure where the mufflers are mounted to frame but should be easy to get sorted out. Is this what you want to know?

First year for the 550M (in the US anyway) was '82. Exhaust mounts above the mufflers in the rear but the early 550's mount under the mufflers. You might be able to rework the mounts but it won't be easy.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the answers:-D
Yes the exhaust is for a 4 cylinder GS550M it is also an 82 not 80.
I need the exhaust for a GS550 chop project so making some brackets is not a big problem.
