Before and After

Hey here's a few pictures of my 77 GS550 I just got. Here it is day one, barely running and ugly as sin:

And here it is with the seat, bars, and guages gone. I also cleaned it up, stripped the tank, rebuilt the carbs and fabricated a custom air intake.

I was also wondering if anyone knew the stock jets sizes on this bike, and with this intake, what jets I should move up to? Here's another look at the intake I made.

Again, any help with jets would be greatly appreciated, and iny ideas for the look of the bike are always welcomed. Take care

I appreciate it. Any advice on how high up I should go using the intake in my pictures? I'm keeping the 4-2 exhaust for purely cosmetic ego reasons, so I know I shouldn't go too high, but I'm still unsure. Thanks in advance for any input.
