    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Hi
I have an issue with intake boots on my gs550e '80,
I get new boots from ebay (for '80-'82) and they doesn't fit to cylinder head, they are too big.
Was there any differences in gs550 cylinder heads from different years ?
I suspect maybe my engine is earlier than '80 :(

The boots should have a L or a R on them that will signify left side and right side as they are slightly different. That letter should also be facing upwards when the boot is installed

I just found answer for my question ;)
as I suspected, PO replaced engine with older one, then he re-drill holes in boots and put CV carbs boots on silicone :stung:.
Pre '80 head has different port diameter and bolt offset.
Just for the record, below diferences between older pre and post '80 headcylinders.
