GSX750/1100 Exhaust Will Fit GS750

[nickyboy4]

I looked for the answer to this question everywhere and couldn't find the answer so thought i'd put it up for reference--i've just got an exhaust off a gsx1100(16 valve) and it bolted straight on my gs750(8 Valve)--it went on perfect at the engine end and only needed very slight alteration at the rear mounting to fit

Schweeeeeeet! Good to know!

What country are you in, and what year was the GSX? This would help clarify the info about the donor bike tremendously.

You'll be confusing all the Yanks - the didn't add the X to GS for the 16 valve bikes so that'll be a GS1100 to them

What make exhaust did you get?

exhaust

it's a harris with a race baffle in it-in rough but solid condition-bikes got crappy k & ns on it at the mo so i either need to get a proper filter box or persevere with the filters and try to get the jetting right!
worth it for the sound tho

Got me a GSX 750SE over here - probably one of about 5 in the whole US.

Would love to find a cheep effective exhaust alternative, available locally of course. Is that a tall order or what?

Nice get - Harris is in my opinion the equal of any period correct exhaust on a 750.

Sorting the carbs shouldn't be to bad. With K&Ns you'll be looking at something between 122.5 and 130 on the mains, standard pilots, air screws out about 2 turns and fuel screws around 1. And try the clip position on the needle in number 4 from the top. (Getting a decent airbox over here is like trying to find the proverbial needle.....)

Which part of the UK are you in?
