Will a 650 exhaust fit a 550?

[Jackw]

Any help is greatly appreciated. I found a good looking exhaust on Ebay but it's for a 650, same year as my 550, but not sure it'll fit...

I have both a stock 80-82 gs550 and 81-83 gs650 exhaust in my garage and they have different diameter of pipe at the head. However, you're running the 4 valve model of the 550, so it might be different. What i'd do is find someone who has the 83-86 550 and ask them to measure the exhaust spacing and diameter. I can do the same on the 650 here for ya.

they don't fit, different bore spacing, Bigred went through this last year,
