Hurting or Helping the engine?

[Anonymous]

A while back, the stock exhaust on my 1980 GS1100E finally rotted out. Not having the money for new pipes, I found a set of stock 4 into 2 pipes off of a 1994 CBR600, that were free. I cut the necks off of my old pipes and welded them onto the new pipes, and they fit great. I also had to fabricate some mounts to hold up the ends of them. The bike runs and sounds awesome, but I don't know if the pipes are letting the engine breath enough. Any thoughts?

Check you plugs, but if she's running good you're probably ok. Just make sure she's not running lean (white plugs).

yes on check the plugs. And let us know what color you found. Lots of the gang want to do things like you just did.

The plugs are fine. I am confident that my modification was a success.
