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.

Ebay is your friend.
There are all kinds of places that sell the stuff too
but if you get good at shopping on Ebay you will almost
always get the same stuff for way less even after the
shipping.
Try searching using this line with the parentheses
(Suzuki GS550,GS 550,GS-550)
Check the box to search title and description.
Should bring plenty of hits.

Ebay will be your friend. Don't expect much in terms of performance parts. You may luck into a header and pipe but there's no jet kit that I know of for your VM carbs. Ask AOD how he finally jetted his '77 bike or see the suggestions on jetting at motorcyclecarbs.com. You may want to add Accel coils and wires or ones from a Katana and maybe a Dyna elec ign, though that last will give you more in terms of reliability than a performace jump. If you want to experiment you could try GS650 pistons or, no kidding, '79-'81 Honda CB650 pistons which have the same stroke as yours (55.8 mm). But you're on your own in terms of a head gasket though I imagine a new one for your 550 could be made to fit. Finally, there's a thread on GS550 performance possibilities in the Performance forum you might want to check.
