Title: muffler size
Post by: 1034am on September 08, 2015, 04:29:37 PM
Can anyone advise on a slip-on muffler that will fit an '89 gs500e?  Or does anyone know the size? I'm replacing a huge Vance & Hines and was hoping for something smaller (16") I'm doing this purely for aesthetic reasons, don't really care how much performance or loudness it has.
thanks!!!

got a muzzy and midpipe buts around gs sized(length) shes a bit of a loud pig too lol. found it attached to a doa sv650 in a wrecker yard. any bike yards near you? sometimes you stumble across these things. its a bonus when workers dont know what theyve got lol

or see if you can locate a vintage gs spec vance and hines. or a yoshi. those can be difficult to locate. theyre small about the size youre after

Yamahon, is right. A junk yard is a good place to look. Baring that the only small can I can think of is the shorty delkavic. It's what I finally went with because I got tired of looking and didn't want to mail order something that may or may not work.
