Those are BS32 Mikuni's. The 650/750/850 use the same carbs but not sure about the spacing. My guess is that the 650 ones would work but not so sure about the others.

Good luck.

They're all spaced the same Ed, and actually, a 750 set is JETTED the same, except for the air jet on the airbox side of the throat. I got a set from a 750 for that 81550 i was working on, and went to pull the jets out, till i noticed they're all the same. I DID change the needles tho, as I think they were different.

But yea, 550, 650, 750 and 850 are all the same spacing, and will do just fine with a jet and needle swap (if you have to to begin with)

I dont have a set of carbs. If I implied that somewhere, i didnt mean to. The carbs that came on that 550 i rebuilt were trashed, so i bought a set of 750 carbs from a guy off here. Any set from the above mentioned bikes will work. Post an add in the Parts Wanted section here on the forum, and also watch ebay if no one here pipes up with a set. The BS32SS is the model you need, and they are THE single most common carbs from the GSs as so many bikes used them.

No prob Ed, just one of those things you stumble on to whilst trying to revive one of these old girls.
