Hello everyone I am new to this site my name is Brandon. I love working on anything with a motor or something that seems like a challenge so I figured I give motorcycles a whirl. I just have few questions about my gs 550 if you guys think it worth the time fixing it was given to me. I will get more pics later from what I can tell only things I'm missing is tail light back fender chain needs throttle cable and prob odd and ends and I'm curious the yr of it I have no paperwork in it

Great way to start ..cheap investments ....Can only go up , even parting it out could be profitable .

 

[brandonengland45]

Yes I thought so

 

[Bweighmaster]

I grab anything , you never know .. Cheap , and free , my 2 favorite words ...

Where would the vin be at only numbers I found on bike is GS550-108349

 

[Bweighmaster]

That is probably the engine number . Look at steering neck in front of fuel tank .
17 digits probably starting with J ....

 

[brandonengland45]

That where I got that number

 

[brandonengland45]

On frame up by steering neck and that what the sticker say that has vin in front of it

 

[Bweighmaster]

Ok , I was off in another thought , 17 digits started in 1981. ANYWAY , it has to be 77 or 78 .. same bike .

 

[brandonengland45]

Ok thanks

 

[brandonengland45]

Idk what I'mma do with it yet

 

[Bweighmaster]

You might try Marketplace , price it high , see what offers you get , I did that with an old bike , got way more than I expected . Lots of BS offers also ......

 

[Bweighmaster]

Well ? Any luck ?

 

[brandonengland45]
