Exhaust flares????

[gregr]

Can anybody tell me the correct name for or part number for what I am calling exhaust flares. I am talking about the part that goes on the end of each header pipe and is engaged by the flanges and space them out and also press against the exhaust gaskets. The only possible piece I could find on the parts blow-up was described as: 1415549000A PLATE, EXHAUST PIPE. Is this correct?




Thanks

Yes that's what it is called. used only on cyl 2&3

[gregr]

Sir,
Thanks very much for your courteous reply. However, I think we may be talking about two different things. There is one of these items on the head end of each exhaust header pipe. Not just cyl 2&3. Without them there is nothing to seal up against the gaskets in the heads. I should perhaps have mentioned this is on a 1983 GS100E
Thanks,
Gregr

Ooohh, let's clear one thing up quickly ... SqDancerLynn1 is NOT a "sir".
She happens to be a rather capable 850 rider and wrench-turner.

Now to your question: The "part" you are looking for is actually a flange that is part of the exhaust pipe, not a separate item. If somebody has cut them off your pipes, you will need new pipes.
Oh, and I was not aware that they made a GS100E in any year. I am guessing your keyboard got sticky and you meant GS1000E?

Some of the 1000 bike exhaust systems have seperate flanges on some of the pipes. The "Plate, Exhaust Pipe" part seems to be the half circle pieces that press the head pipe into the head.

[psyguy]

yup, it's two half-round pieces that fit inbetween the header pipe end and the flange on the TWO pipes that are one-piece with the muffler - these can be either the two centre or the two outer pipes depending on the exhaust model
they are used so the flages can be taken off even though the header and the muffler are a one-piece assembly

If my thinking is right these are what we in the uk call collets (similar to valve collets) they can easilly be made from a short piece of the correct size tube

[gregr]

Firstly, my apology to SqDancerLynn1 for my chauvanistic assumption. I think I also need to iclude more particulars, such as my system is a Kerker 4 into 1 system. The devices in question would be like a piece of tubing whose inside diameter is the same as the header pipe outside diameter, about two inches long with a flare at one end the goes against the gaskets. The bolt flanges are stopped by the forward edge and that allows them to tighten agaist the inside of the head.

Correct exhaust collets lol
as ive said if you cant find any they are easy enough to make

I dont think Slozuki made a 1000 in 1983... Must be a 1100

OK, ya got me on that one.

But, ... it's guaranteed that there was no 100.

1983 Suzuki 100.

[gregr]

No BUT...that would be one crazy looking bike!

HMMMM a 4-cylinder two stroke Suzuki...HMMMM a GT with a kick?

Who's GOOD at welding cast block's together?

Saw an open class 'sled' with 4 600cc trip Polaris's welded together, what a sound when it fired up!
