New Exhaust System for a GS1000GL?

[Anonymous]

I've been lurking around this site for some time now, taking advantage of some of the wise advice while doing a complete tranny and engine rebuild on my '81 GS1000GL. All new tranny gears cut last month, and 1100cc Overbore piston kit from Wiseco, and I'm really looking forward to getting back on the road again! The problem is the stock exhaust...it looks rather tired, a little rust here and there, nothing serious, but since I've taken great pains to detail, paint, and restore the engine, I'd like to get a new exhaust system, preferable chrome, to match all the other new parts. Can anyone point me into some directions for a bike this old? I've searched ebay, and most of the places I know, and only Jardine seems to have a system, but not necessarily for the GS1000GL. Thanks for your help.

I put a Vance and Hines on my 1000S earlier this year.

Not sure about clearance for the GL models.

Try Dennis Kirk? or JC Whitney....

Search the archives for the thread on Harley-Davidson mufflers. I have a pair of FXS mufflers on mine, and I really like the result. The bike sounds like a real motorcycle and seems to rev a bit easier. You shouldn't have to rejet unless you're already running lean.

I have a 1981 GS1000G that I just replaced the standard exhausts with a Harris pipe, The original pipes are hanging up in my workshop and are in pretty good condition, great chrome, 15k on them.
If they fit your bike, (I dont know if they will) but if they do! a crisp $100 from you to me will make them yours! Phil.
