ifielding Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Hi,Is there anybody on here that has a good knowledge on the 77 to 81 XS750 series of bikes?My question is did the 3 downpipes change in any way throughout their production. Would a 1977 downpipes still fit a 1980 bike?Thanks in advanceIan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slice Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Ian, couple of things, please don't ask the same question on different parts of the site, gets folks pissed, most pipes have the part number on the end, where it goes into the silencer/muffler, sorry about that but don't know where you are in the world as you haven't filled in your details, if the numbers are the same on both pipes then obviously they will fit but even if they are only 1 number out then pretty sure they won't. That's the best I can do I'm afraid. On my XJ750 the pipes from a Maxim 750 would fit but from the XJ650 they wouldn't, same engine just different barrels, sometimes the difference is tiny but you will NEVER get them to seal if they are even slightly wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slice Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Hi Ian, yes on the very end of the pipe you will find a set of letter/numbers, quite hard to see sometimes but worth the effort, saves you buying the wrong thing and wasting time trying to fit something that looks right but isn't. Good luck with you search. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
