    GS550E/VM22SS help please.

    would anyone know if the flange bolt spacing (where they bolt on to the aluminium rack) is the same as the VM26SS carbs?
    also what is the O/D of the head side of the carbs, where they fit into the boots on the head?

    Thanks in advance

                The 52mm might not be real accurate. I can get it better if you need it.
