My 550a 1976

Here you can post a picture of you and your bike. Also where you are located and if you are prepared to give local kettle owners some of your time and experience.Please don't do discussions here just some facts about yourself. This was Glens idea! Thanks BAZ

Yes definitely an A. It was in the showroom for nearly a year before it sold. Its a local bike and I know all the previous owners. Single stay front mudguard on the A/B models.

You're being anorak'd buddy :lol: All down to the tank badge arrangement. I've got a GT750B front mudguard fitted to mine. :D
