    I picked up one of these off the local craigslist. New-- with tags for $50.00.

    'Firstgear Silverstone'

    P.S. I couldn't get by without my tank bag!

          I have used Nelson Riggs since 1999 and they have held up well, fit all of my bikes and have plenty of room. Here are pics from my ride today in 43 degree Indiana.

            I use the Motcentric roll bag on both my 750 and 1100. Plenty of room, and holds its shape when empty.

              I like your original paint scheme. Looks great!

                    Glad you are getting well enough to ride. I tossed my dirt squirter down on Christmas eve and am still on the mend. The good news is the race motor for the GS is ready to be picked up...

                      it is killing me not to be able to ride it. i took the bike out for the first time the day before i crashed. i loved it! the weather is perfect and i am stuck in the house kinda still bunged up.

                        There is nothing to stop a 550 from making long trips.

                          I rode a GT 550 across the states, with no issues.

                            I used to make the eight hour trip from Toronto to Sherbrooke several times a year on a GS550T. I used Bagman soft saddle bags and a no name tank bag. It is important to get off, stretch and look at the scenery at regular intervals to avoid cramping and tingling.
