    Crash bar compatabliity

    Do you guys know if crash bars / case savers from a 1983 GS750ES will fit a 1983 gs1100e?

    thanks

        I found some Casesavers crashbars, but they are stated to be for 1977-1982 Suzuki GS550. I don't know it this is for the E or the L. Would anyone know if the casesavers crash bars for a 1977-1982 Suzuki GS550 would fit on both the E and the L? Or are there some differences in that area of the frame that would cause some issues?

        Thanks!

          No. I have an '85 GS700 (same as the '83 GS750) and an '81 GS750 (same case savers as the GS1100E). They are definitely not interchangeable.

          The '83-on 750/700 is a completely different engine and frame than the older GS750 models.

            I found these '79 550 crash bars on eBay -


            Also these '83 1100L bars -


            Will either fit my '85 550L? I'm having a heck of a time finding crash bars for this model.

              I've just ordered a set of Krauser bars for my '79 'S.Getting them from an importer here in Aus.Not cheap--$195 for the pair.I won't get them for 4 weeks.I'll let you know what they're like. For any Aussies/Kiwi's , I ordered them through Precision Performance Motorcycle Parts in Brisbane.They're the small ones , not the Police style ugly big one piece ones.Cheers,Simon.
