    1980 gs550

    Can anybody tell me the difference between the GS550E and GS550L??
    Just picked up a 1980 Suzuki VIN TAG says GS550E but side cover says GS550L!!

    1980 GS550E:


    1980 GS550L:


    As you can see there are quite a few differences. The L had leading axle front forks, stepped seat, chrome fenders, buckhorn handlebars, smaller teardrop fuel tank and shorter exhaust just to name a few.

    1998 Honda ST1100 (Daily long distance rider)
    1982 GS850GLZ (Daily rider when the weather is crap)

    Darn, with so many daily riders it's hard to decide which one to jump on next.

          Many people will change out pieces and parts because they can't find exactly what they want or don't care.
