    1980 GS550 E Brake Parts swap??

    I have a 1980 GS 550E that sat for a long period of time. I've gotten most of it ship shape but moving on to the brakes, I have found that both front and rear master cylinders are beyond salvage. I have a 78 550 E parts bike. Will the front master cylinder work on the 1980? I know it is a little different style. Also what about the rear? The 78 brakes work great.

    thanks,

    Brian

    Yes it will work, nothing too special about them. Course, look into doing Salty Monk's twinpot upgrade if you can (search on twinpot)
