Rear seat grab rail fitment question (GS550E)...

[hikermikem]

Does anyone know if the rear grab rail that goes around the end of the seat from an '83 GS550E will fit an '85 GS550E ??

I can't find that part on the fiche at PartShark to do a cross reference on...

I looked at the pics of the two bikes in the gallery section here & they LOOK the same...

TIA,

Mike

You talking about #10 in this picture?

I found the part number at Babbitt's and also used their cross-reference.
It fits all the 550s from '83 to '86, but is no longer available.

Thanks steve,

For some reason the parts fiche I used didn't show that item... I looked at the seat, but that rail wasn't shown.

I assumed all the parts fiche were the same (yeah, I know what they say about assuming), but I guess some of them don't show "non-available" parts??

Thanks

I only checked Babbitt's because I knew they had the cross-reference chart, too. They show the part in the diagram and have the description and the part number, but no price, meaning it's no longer available. Alpha Sports flat out tells you "no longer available".

Well, I got my eyes on a used one - just needed to know if it would fit...

Thanks again
