Title: GS500F Exhausts
Post by: chinox22x on June 29, 2004, 08:40:46 AM
Ok...Someone list full system exhausts that the GS500F can accomodate and where to buy them and model name of the exhaust.  What later models of the gs500 have the same exhaust fitting?

Have you done a search on "pipes" using the search funtion [Search] above?

Also, check Pantoblo's page for aftermarket pipes; he has a link to his site in his signature, all you have to do is find one of his posts and click on the link.

The exhaust is the same from '89 all the way up today. It hasn't changed with the "new" model.

The only problem you could run into is if some aftermarket exhaust ran very differently than the stock exhaust system. I think the V&H one was like that, and some of the EX500 pipes I've seen beaten to fit would probably be asking for trouble....

Your two main options for a full system would a used Yoshimura or vance and hines- The VH you can find new- or you can keep an eye out on ebay or other lists.

The only thing that I'd caution you about is making sure it fits the fairing. My system fits but I did have to fabricate a couple items to keep it from rubbing on some parts.  I ride an 01.
