Need exhaust help!!!!!!!!!!!!

[roxymuddin]

I have an 85 gs550L, ive hopped this bike up a little already but want to put a nice exhaust system on it but cant seem to find one. Price isnt too much of a problem. Does any other systems from different models fit? Any help here would be greatly appreciated. I love this bike to death but its way too quiet and the exhaust if too far gone to have it recromed. So im looking for a new one. Thank you in advance to anyone who reads and or responds to this thread. Im pulling my hair out over here looking!!!!

I sympathize with you...

I have a '85 GS550L also. I've been searching for a 4-1 exhaust to replace the blown out staock pipes, but it seems no one makes one for this model.

I can tell you this - the stock exhaust from an '85 GS550E DOES NOT fit. I have an E bike as a back-up parts bike & tried to put those pipes on the L. No way, even though at first glance they look the same.

The E's pipes are a bit smaller, and you can't get it under the frame. I just had the stock L pipes welded up (patched with sheet metal at a local exhaust shop) to extend their life - haven't re-installed them yet.

Good luck - if you find a place that sells new 4-1 pipes for our model, let me know.
