    Brake swap? 82 to 81 GS550L

    So my 1982 GS550L has rear DRUM brakes from the factory. the 1981 has rear DISC brakes. This seems like a step backwards. Does anyone know WHY? Also, has anyone replaced a 1982 rear drum with a 1981 rear disc?

    Not Suzuki but the principle is the same. I made this up for XS650's. I looked up on Partzilla but the only 81 and 82 GS550 model's they showed both had Disk brakes on the rear. Didn't show an L model.
