Are these off a GT550 or are they part of an aftermarket item?

Internal diameter is 9.88mm.

Many thanks.

Not seen anything like that on a 550. Where exactly were they?

Thanks for your replies Alan H, much appreciated.

These were in a stack of random GT550 spares that I got from the US.

You've probably noticed that some ebay sellers, particularly in the US, just shovel a load of spares into one listing. I bought one such batch just for some seat parts for my GT550J that I saw in the photos. Every now and then I get enthusiastic(!) about sorting through the other parts that came in the package.

The only items that I can't identify as being off a GT550 are these and the rubber shroud/cover that I posted a question over a few days ago. I have read through my 1973 parts manual cover to cover a couple of times now and I can't see either of them. It's funny though, I feel like I've seen something like these before, but I can't remember where!

Thanks again.

All the best.

Walnut whips after some greedy git has scoffed the filling

And the walnut!

I'm glad that's a follow up post to mine and not Alan H's one about his girlfriend's toy box.....................!!

Going back to my original query (sorry!), I reckon, then, that they're not original Suzuki fitment, but maybe spacers from aftermarket seat, sissy bars, crash bars etc.

A shame that we can't id the rubber part from my earlier post - that's lovely and soft and has the Suzuki 'S' stamped on it.

Thanks again for your help and entertainment!
