The '79 GL has shead about 80 ibs. since I acquired it about 6 months ago. A project I have thought about for 25 years! The exhaust is Jardine from JC Witney and the tail/turn signals are late model GSXR. The fly screen is a generic after market unit picked up on ebay; I don't know the brand.

The exhaust is a complete system by Jardine however I can't find a current listing on the net. I'm not much help with the front fender; I think it is a CB 450 part, but really I just found one on ebay that I thought looked good.

I see it lists Jardine for the 78-79 GL 1000 only...I wonder why?

Is there a difference in the exhaust for 1976/77?

Hmmm. Could you use the same header pipes?

I'm thinking of just going with a generic set of aftermarket slip-on turnouts...about 40 bucks each, 20" long.

Yes for sure they will fit on your bike, they used the same headers for GL1000 and GL1100.

J.C Whitney frequently carries mufflers for Gold Wings. You may want to do a search and see what you come up with.
