    550 model years

    Will a 80 GS550 head fit on a 82 GS550? Are there any differences? TIA

    i don't think they will, i think 1977-1981 heads and valve covers are all the same, but in 82 they started doin funny stuff. the 82 year has a extra bolt on the valve cover, so i don't know if they tampered with the head to or not. what you can do is check bike bandit and compare the micro fiche picture of both heads and see if you find any noticeable diffrences.

    sorry i'm not more helpful.

      there is a SLIM chance the 82 engine had the same bolt pattern as the 80 engine...VERY SLIM, but there were some made that way i'm told.

      you'll have to do some research...

        luke, the 550 head : will not fit on your bike. but your motor may fit in a 550 frame

          Very funny Skip :twisted: I happen to have a 550 I'm parting out. As for engine swaps, now that you're not going to ride your 1150, why don't you lend me the engine for a while. If you want, I'll even store the rest of the bike for you, for FREE. I don't think you can pass a deal like this up.
