750 Shafty 82 exhaust

[Marine36]

Anybody know if the stock exhaust from an 82 750 shafty will work on a 83 GS1100g?

Thanks for your time.

Hi,

I am unaware of any Suzuki GS750G here in the states. They were a Japan-only distribution. Even so, I'm sure the exhaust would not exchange without modification.


Thank you for your indulgence,

No GS750 shafties down this way either. Exhaust may fit with rear mounting point mods done.

Any pictures of this bike? I've never seen a GS750 shaft drive.

Saw it on Craiglist listed as parts bike. I am going to take a look Friday. It is close by.

Owner probably doesn't know what he has, probably a 650 or 850.

agreed...
the seller is a retard.
650 or 850 would be the choices.

IF it is a 750, take alot of pictures, I would love to see one.

Very, very rare, if it is.

The GS750GL was another Japanese home market model with the reliable eight-valve engine and shaft drive. The design of the GL was obviously more chopper influenced but mechanically the GS750G and GS750GL were similar. The model was introduced in May 1981.

I haven't found info of any other model years. It's possible that the '81 was the only model year for GS750GL. Probably the model until 1983.
