    GS1000G Exhaust

    Preface: I know the jetting issues. I'm actually a little rich at the moment, but moving beyond that.

    I have 1981 GS1000G. I'd like to put a 4 into 1 on it at some point. I have found systems from MAC and Vance and Hines (I actually like Kerker, but no luck there), ANYWAY, they all say they fit "78-80". I have contacted them and they say they believe they have sold some for 1981's and promised to check with the buyer to see what if any mods he had to make, etc... but never heard back from them. So my questions is, any experts on the topic as far as center stand retention, having to weld mounts, etc... I will be willing (probably gonna happen this next winter) to weld a mount bracket to the frame, maybe even lose the center stand, but need to know the exhaust holes are the same distance apart and that it will roughly "fit".

    I have an 80 which I believe is identical to yours everywhere that matters... You need to make up a connecting link at the rear for the muffle for the V&H that's all.

    V&H is better than Mac I think & cheaper these days too....

    Check out cycle spot in Arizona & also there was somewhere else posted recently with free shipping... possibly by Robertbob.

      Thank you sir!
      I figured there couldn't be that much difference between 80 and 81, at least no so major they wouldn't work at all.

        no probs. I think the most obvious difference is the turn signals..... not even sure there are any others!
