Hi Steve just wanted to know if you know of any aftermarket exhaust systems that will work on my 1982 GL1100a aspencade or any good sites for parts

They aren't cheap but the Bike Bandit has Jardine pipes for your bike. I'm not sure but the price of $468 makes me think this is both the mufflers and the headers. I had Jardines on my 86 1200SEI and thought they looked good and sounded nice, louder than OEM but nice.

Where can you buy a Motad on this side of the pond? I have not been able to find anyone selling over here:cheeky1:

Motad are a UK company, but many US dealers sell them too. Go to the Motad site and use the contact link to ask for a list of US dealers;

The MAC exhaust seems to be a popular replacement. It is available from many motorcycle part suppliers. The one that I have had good luck with is The Wing Things Company and they have one of the best prices I have seen. ($350.00)

cmeador,

One thing I haven't seen mentioned yet, is using a set of gl1000 headers, & a set of Harley mufflers. A lot of gl1100 owners are doing this. The NEW Harley mufflers can be had relatively cheap on eBay ($20-$50). One of the first things a new Harley owner does it take off the quiet stock mufflers (what the point of having a machine that fires on forty-five degrees if you can't hear it?:cheeky1. You would have to make a bracket for the muffle, but they look & sound nice.

I did the conversion and it works great. Here's a link to what I posted on this site.Asearch using the words, 'Harley' and 'mufflers' netted the following http://www.goldwingfacts.com/forums/view_topic.php?id=590&forum_id=1&highlight=harley+mufflers
