What a great bike the GS550 is, Neville.  Could you post a photo of it, please?

This is my GS550 after the renovation - took 6 months working 2-3 days a week and well over £1000 on spare parts. Full strip and repair, repaint and rebuild with all seals in the engine, brakes and carbs replaced.  Runs very well and also now registered as a "Historic" vehicle in the UK as its over 40 years old.

If I have to make 4 more - no problem but I think I can do the assembly 2 cyl,'s at a time.

I found it much easier  to do 2 at a time. Space was too restrictive to get the piston ring compressor in. I have the same type in the picture.
