1981 GPz550 Q's

[Guest]

So I have a chance to maybe pick up an 81 GPz550 for a song. It's in rough but running/rideable shape. Only issue right now is air filters. I don't have the bike in my possession but was wondering if any of you fine folks knew the carb inlet O.D. so I can snoop around for a set of useable pod filters for it til I can get the stock airbox for it. Thanks.

No clue on the carb sizes, but the carbs themselves are 22mm TK's.

If you use pods the bike won't run for crap until you rejet. It might be faster and easier to just start looking for an airbox. That same airbox fit on the following bikes...

I "found" the zedder database for these bikes and have it somewhere on a Bernoulli drive. Regardless of the condition of it is in any way a reasonable purchase buy it.

As Mordecai Richler mouthed via some old geezer on The apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz "A man without a GPZ550 is nobody. Remember that, Duddel"

I may have made some of that up....
