    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...

    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.

Hey everyone...
So I don't know if I'm mixed up or if it's the vendor...
I ordered new intake pipes for my GS550. They arrived today and they are tiny.
Everything I see online says the part numbers are:
13110-47001 and 13120-47001
THat's what I ordered, but they are way small. See the pics.

Serious size difference. Anyone have the specs for the part?
I'm wondering if I was sent the wrong part? The OEM part number tag is with each pipe, but wow.

27mm original vs 23mm replacement size opening.
 
Those part numbers are for the early year bikes with VM (mechanical slide) carbs. Based on your old boot your bike has BS/CV carbs which take a different boot.

Part# 13110-47010 Desc PIPE,INTAKE RH
Part# 13120-47010 Desc PIPE,INTAKE LH

So, if I were to get slides, I'd have to get a new head? These intake pipes won't even bold on, as the whole unit isn't big enough.
Is that "normal"?

Sounds normal to me. The VM carbs have a significantly smaller throat size. I think you would have to change the head also it may be possible to slot the holes in the boot to try to get them to line up.
