What GS is this side cover too!

[whodatpat]

I bought it on ebay as advertised for a 80 GS850. It certainly is not. Now I need to get rid of it, but I need to know what it is too. :?

Reminds me of my RE-5, except for the blue stripe........

Good question. It says '80 GS850. I have an '80 GS850, G model, and the right panel is not the same shape as this one. On mine the front edge is straight; mine is pretty much a triangle with rounded corners. I know mine is original because I bought the bike new. The attachment configuration is right--two slots at the top, a post at the bottom. I checked the gallery to see if it was for an L-model; not a match there either.

Looks like it's for a 79 GS550L:

Somebody with a 78' gs750e might want to respond.

I sold it to Pat. I bought it off of ebay when it was advertised as a 1980 GS850G side cover. I thought it would fit my 1980 GS850L, but since it did not, I sold it on ebay. I looked at BikeBandit's schematic and it showed the part number that I advertised on ebay (47200) to be a 1980 GS850 side cover.

Anyway, I have offered to Pat to refund his money, or any money that he loses when he resales it. I feel bad about this, but tried my best to do the right thing.

These things happen and as long as the right thing has attempted to be done, I don't see why there should be any hard feelings.

It does look like a late 70s 550 side cover to me. I'm not sure the 'L' model was different from the rest.

I know this sort of thing happens. I am verry happy with Terry's offer to buy it back. He obviously did not know it would not fit my bike. I am not really sweating it. Plus, I am sure that someone is dying for a really nice 550 right side cover.

I bought a 1980 850g left side panel of e-bay for my 80 1000g the part number is 45100L (L is for Left) the right panel has a R, hope that helps
