    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.

What tanks will fit the GS550?

Sadly, the Dunstall tank I've got won't fit the GS that I'm turning into a cafe racer. I can't get it low enough without modifying the tank. Sadly, my skills don't stretch that far.

So, it's either modify the original 550m (Katana) tank like Yaddy did (http://www.thegsresources.com/_forum/showthread.php?t=138693&highlight=yaddy&page=8) OR I buy something which is a direct replacement that suits the tail unit.

So, what tanks will fit the GS550 frame? Only Suzuki or will Kwaka/Yam/Honda fit?

CHeers :D
 
Post a picture of the frame. I don't think many people have a GS550M so we wouldn't know, although I'd expect it to be the same as most GS's.
 
Aww man what a shame, that would've been such a good look too!

As FC said, shoot pic's of the frame up and take some measurements of the channel etc. in your existing tank.

While I don't have my bike here at the moment, I do have my tank, so I could measure it for you, 450E tanks make great cafe tanks...
