Help with my 1980 gs550e

[Guest]

I got this 1980 gs550e this past summer and I have some questions about it. First thing that I noticed was the fairing, it appears to be a maier gp the weird thing is that the mounting brackets for it are welded to the headlight mounts, did the gs ever come standard with it as an option? The other thing is the turn signals are square and I've only ever seen another 1980 with the square turn signals, was this standard or a later replacement?

I'm fairly certain that your particular bike never came with a fairing. The signals definitely look like later style replacements.
Its a nice looking bike. Welcome to the site.

That bike looks so awesome. I love bad 80's style and that thing rocks it well.
