What year/model 750?
What year/model 550?

The tank mounting seems to be different from 81/82 on most models, and the L and non-L models deffinitely mount differently, so knowing what year and model is rather critical.

The gs550 is from a 1978 bike and my gs750 is a 1979 bike.

is the gs550 physically smaller than the 750 or is it the same size?

thanks

I was wondering the same thing. Does the tank your looking at have the locking cap?

yes it looks identical?
surely someone must know wether its the same size or not?

Tanks are a similar size but mountings are different so its not a straight bolt on job & your sidepanels wont meet up properly either :-?

Im pretty sure the 550 tank is shorter if you're talking pre80 750 vs 550E. The "E"s mount up the same, but you simply wont be long enough.

I have one SUPER clean inside, and WAS perfect, till it got knocked off the rack. Now has a slightly smaller than golfball sized shallow dent in the front right where it bends over from the top. I hunted for this tank forever, cos i wanted a clean one, but im hunting again, cos *I* dont want to bondo it. I want a pristine one. Other than that lil dent, its in amazing condition. Its a pear white, and the paint for the most part is decent. If you're interested, lemme know. I will be out of town untill friday night starting in...oh bout 30 mins...lol
