    GS550 rear fender swap. Plastic to chrome?

    So I just picked up a 1977 GS550 with a plastic rear fender (with a little storage compartment above it)

    I noticed the later GS550 switched to a chrome fender, and ditched the little box.
    Does anybody know if it would be as simple as unbolting the plastic fender, and bolting the chrome one in it's place?
    I know the seat changed, but if the frame is the same, it seems like it should work...

    The chrome one just has a nicer, classic look to it to my eye. Even though it is a little newer.

Working...
