    82 GS1100GL parts crossover

    hey, will the braking components from an 82 1100GL swap over to my 78 550?? i have noticed that a lot of on line sellers lits GS brake bits under multiple displacement headings... want to check up on this before purchasing. thanks

    Your 78 550 I think has a single disk setup so the items from a GS1100
    will not fit. A lot of sellers have no idea what their parts will fit and just list everything & it is up to you .

      That is unless you do the dual disk conversion

        this is for a rear end job. it's through a poster here on GS forums... just want to double check things and make sure that we're on the same page. to restate:
        will the rear end components from said GS1100 fit the GS550 if i do a rear disc conversion?

          The 550 uses a smaller rear disk than its big brother. =
          smaller calaper & calaper adapter, the master cyl should work, I'm guessin you will have to make mounts for it.
          If you want to use the larger disk? Chances are the complete setup from any of the disk brake equiped GS bikes would work if you use the complete setup.
          I have a calaper & adapter from a 550 If you need it -- cost of postage
