GS700 triple cover/pad

[QuaiChangKane]

I recently bought a used GS700 triple cover for my 750ES, because I think the 700 model looks far better than the 750 cover.

But I just came across this on eBay, and was wondering what it's from, or if it's a cut-down 700 triple cover.


Here's a stock, known GS700 triple cover (minus the "Suzuki" center piece to cover the mounting bolt:

And here's the one in question...:

Anyone know what the second one is from?

No clue, but it doesn't look like a cut-down GS700 cover - I've got an uncut one here and it only has one hole, right through the middle. I don't even see how that one would fit on a stock triple, it has the mounting holes in the wrong places.

If I end up heading up there this weekend, I'll bring it with me and you can have it - I won't be using my stock triples, so I can't really use it anyway (not like it fits with my current clipons either)

That second one is off an '83-'86 GS550E/ES. I used to have an '85 GS550ES.

It will not fit on the 750/700 model.

Knew someone would know. Wasn't planning on buying it, just struck me as odd because it looked like a Suzuki part, but was definitely mis-listed.


Thanks!

Got one already, but thanks!


I couldn't make it by to get photos of that 750 today, but I plan on swinging by tomorrow evening on my way to bike night.

I'll forward them as soon as I get them downloaded.

At this point, if you don't buy it, I may (much to the wife's chagrin...)

Cheers,
