VM carbs or CVs?

Well I do not know how to call it but it`s carburetor with the picture below.

They're VM22s - external diameter on the head side (which is what I presume you're looking for) is 31mm.

Thats means that both gs (GS 500 and GS 550) have the same diameter intake.

[hampshirehog]

They will - both use VM22s.

ok, thank you very much!

As far as I know the 500s had 50cc less (obviously!) and different cams - those were the only differences. The 550 cams will fit straight in and you'll get (almost) the same power as a 550.

Yes, this is the reason why I asked. When you say cam I suppose you mean the camshaft. What about valves and cylinder heads? It would be great if it were 500/550 compatible.
