'82 gl1100 exhust mods?
Howdy,
New to this site looks great...! I was wondering if anyone has made any simple exhaust modifications thier 80-83 models and what kind of results were accomplished - looking to make it sound just a little throater without having to cut into the system.

rear most baffles ...
has anyone tried to remove the rear most baffle from thier stock muff's - Looks like you would drill out the revit and give it a pull . But some how life doesn't seem that simple.

rvtechA1----you trashed Factory mufflers? 
As for those factory pipes, yes, I trashed them.. It was more of a salvage mission than anything else.. they were in a terrible state... previous owner had them off and the fiberglass was ruined....left bank did more to block flow than muffle.. was causing more runnability grief, so I bought a 2nd factory set, and have them sitting in the garage.. They are still too pretty, and my present home has me driving her about 6-7 miles on dirt each way on my daily commute...
In retrospect, I trashed junk...
As for trying to remove? As yoda said, their is no try, only do...
Meaning that once you gut it, there is no going back..LOL

I put the slashdown jardines that are for 1000 on my 1100. I had to weld a couple of nuts together to provide the 1/4" drop at the rear mount and fab a 2" long bracket for the bump stop for the center stand. But, otherwise they bolted right up. I dont know if you can interchange 1200 pipes to a 1000 or not.Jester wrote:What about swapping pipes from model to model. Do they interchange at all? Like will a set of head pipes from a GL1100 or GL1200 fit the GL1000?
