Title: Vance and Hines Exhaust onto a 2004 GS500F
Post by: bambams247 on May 18, 2005, 09:15:26 AM
HEY! I just bought a GS500F and I want to put on the Vance and Hines Supersport 12029 Exhaust onto it. Its a 2into1 header+pipe combo. It is made for the 2002 500E but I assume it will fit the 2004. Has anyone done this yet, any pictures or information. Does anyone know if itll fit?

I called Vance and Hines and they had no information on it they have not tested it yet. Someone please help me out. Thanks!

it should fit fine.

The reason slip-ons from 89-2002 do not fit is because the exhaust is slightly larger near the end... so the slip on pipe is too small

I wrote to Vance and Hines about this and here is the response I got on 7/12/2005:

====================================
Rich,

Although we've never officially tested our Super Sport Exhaust (part #12029) on the '04 GS500F, we've had a few Suzuki dealerships who have called in to notify us that it does fit.  Keep in mind that this has not been confirmed directly by us and installation is at your own risk.

Best of Luck,
