    What tanks will fit the GS550?

    Sadly, the Dunstall tank I've got won't fit the GS that I'm turning into a cafe racer. I can't get it low enough without modifying the tank. Sadly, my skills don't stretch that far.


    So, it's either modify the original 550m (Katana) tank like Yaddy did (http://www.thegsresources.com/_forum...t=yaddy&page=8) OR I buy something which is a direct replacement that suits the tail unit.

    So, what tanks will fit the GS550 frame? Only Suzuki or will Kwaka/Yam/Honda fit?

    Post a picture of the frame. I don't think many people have a GS550M so we wouldn't know, although I'd expect it to be the same as most GS's.

      Aww man what a shame, that would've been such a good look too!

      As FC said, shoot pic's of the frame up and take some measurements of the channel etc. in your existing tank.

      While I don't have my bike here at the moment, I do have my tank, so I could measure it for you, 450E tanks make great cafe tanks...
