I had tried searching the forums but I have had no luck on finding a post about putting on a bigger gas tank on a 1981 GS550T. I dumped my bike in a no win situation for me or the bike and now I need to fix it. Nothing like seeing everyone else riding to get my butt in gear.
Anyways I was wondering what information anyone had on the subject. Also the stock one has a fairly good sized dent, it still holds gas but it is an eyesore. So I am open to the possibility of fixing the old one.
If you don't mind my indulgence I have a few more questions:
Where can I find comfortable grips? Stock ones aren't doing it for me
Can someone point me in the direction towards a post on spray can paint jobs? I can't find it anymore and I would love some new paint but I'm on a strict budget.
What would anyone think about adding a 16 tooth sprocket to the front end? The bike is geared really low and I'm getting low 40's for economy.
Where can I find replacement air filters? I would like to eliminate the plastic air box but I don't want to put on pods and have to rejet the carbs.
would an air filter like this work?
Thank you for your time and help,
