    Sito exhaust - anyone tried it?

    I was perusing Motorcyclist Retro and saw and ad for Sito exhaust at LeoVince.

    They have an exhaust listed for a 1982 GS 1100 S

    Anyone know anything about these?

    1978 GS 1000 (parts)
    1981 GS 850 (anyone want a project?)
    1981 GPZ 550 (backroad screamer)
    1970 450 Mk IIID (THUMP!)

    Does the magazine article have a website address for here in the US? Last I checked, Sito has very limited distribution here and the pipes are expensive.

      Dennis Kirk lists Sito exhausts as a replacement for factory units. Closest I can find to your application, though, is this: http://www.denniskirk.com/jsp/produc...&skuId=4401038

      Good luck!

        I emailed LeoVince and since I first posted they responded to me. Looks like it is OEM style only for 1982 GS 1100 S.

          Sito seems to make some nice pipes. Check this link for info... http://www.laserexhausts.com/en/modu...-exhausts.html

              Wow Those look great. They look almost stock. I'm going to remember that (I hope) Anybody have any experience with them?

              One of my 850's has some rust bummps hiding inder the chrome. no holes yet, but I didn't want to go with a MAC. Those look like a reasonable alternative.

                The Sito mufflers look, sound, and fits great on my 79' GS850GN! A much better alternative to the "fits-alls" and "weed burner" options out there.

                    Is there anyone that makes just the header and 2n1 collector? Something designed for slip on mufflers? Tough I like the price and style with the lack of cross over H pipe

                      Sitos are a pretty common affordable stock replacement option in Europe. I had them on my GS1100, took them off for a 4-1 to save weight and my header pipes were rusty too.

                      Fit and sound are usually very close to stock. The quality especially of the chrome is not as good as stock, but acceptable.

                      Essentially if you liked the stock system and your orig. mufflers are rusted or falling apart they are a decent option. And at least here the cheapest one!
