Tweakers molested this bike, need help with the rebuilding process.

[Briefcasezebra]

I have the front part of a 550 airbox laying around. If you're interested let me know and we can figure out if it'll fit. I think there are two different sizes depending on the carb style.

Id love to see if it would fit. Not finding much on Ebay.

I have to admit, cramming the carbs back in place between the airbox and intake boots of the GS550 was the toughest of all the 80s bikes I ever worked on. Hours of trial and error 'til I figured out the trick.
Real EZ to do it for my GS1100G, just because there's much more room.

And, ... as easy as it is on your 1100, my 850s are just a little easier, as the engine size is ever so slightly smaller.

For some reason, the guys with the 550s and the chain-driven 1100s think we are kidding when we say that we can just about stand beside the bike and throw the carbs and airbox into position.
