Aftermarket exhaust for sale!

[mcgovern61]

A have a set of what I believe is a Jardine exhaust system for sale. It is all chrome. The baffles are not removable and it is louder than standard pipes, but not like a Harley. (It is not an open pipe) There are no holes or cracks and they bolt on to any GL1100. The only mod I found out later that I should have done was adjust the brake pedal. The muffler is a little larger at the MC than stock and the adjustment arm will get pushed in if not adusted.

These pipes originally were down turned, but the sound was reverberating in my ears and I wanted sewing machine pipes! I cut off the downturns and sent the sound straight back, that helped a lot, but not sewing machine quiet. I recently installed a set of '83 standard pipes that are sewing machine quiet and I will never go back!

The left pipe has an acid stain where I layed the bike over from not putting down the side stand! :head bang:

Here is avideo of what they sound like while riding (if you don't listen to the engine noise!):


Here are some pics of the original pipes on the '81 parts bike and then the cutoff pipes:

What do you think the chances are that it will fit a '77 GL1000?

I am not sure. My buddy has a '76 GL1000 and his exhaust is different that my 1100. His pipes attach differently and his mufflers are much larger. This exhaust is adjustable, but I do not know if there is enough adjustment to fit a GL1000.

Joedrum is our in-house parts swap expert between 1000's and 1100's. What do you think Joe?

Hi, Gerry - I'd sure be interested in those pipes - my right side has a whopping great hole plugged with metalic epoxy right now :grin: I get a bit more noise with it out, but I get this lovely cherry red look in my cheeks when I do that? :smilie_happy: I think I'd like a bit more noise anyway - the sewing machine thing isn't for me.

Can you tell me - there's no need to re-jet with these pipes of yours, is there? I'm not much of a carb boy so I'd probably not want 'em if that were the case.

Say - I don't wanna step on toes, so if others are wanting them, I can wait my turn and lose out if must be. I'll have to ask you later to check postage to Canada - need to watch my pennies.

Welcome to the site from New Jersey! :clapping:

My research on these pipes (which I believe are Jardines), they are designed to operate with normal settings on Goldwing carbs without the need to be rejetted. The reason they are louder than stock is because the baffle is smaller and non-removable and they resonate backwards through the muffler and then out the pipe. They are supposed to be equal in back pressure as stock pipes. I did cut off the downturned ends to send the sound behind me because the sound would resonate off of the street and reverberate in my helmet. Cutting off the downturns stopped that, but they were still too high a noise level for me. (Although my wife liked that they sounded more like a motorcycle than sewing machine!)

I can check shipping to Canada later.

SOLD! To the man up North! :clapping: :yahoo:

Dic, they are on their way to you via USPS ground (About 6-10 days). I was surprised that the shipping to Canada wasn't any more expensive than shipping across the States. :thanks:
