Nice job on the 200!

Make sure the backbone on the 550 is straight before spending too much time on restoring it. Often the backbone will get very slightly bent in a front ender. It's very hard to straighten (if even possible). It may be easier to find a non-wrecked frame with a bad/missing motor.
1981 KZ550 D1 gpz.

Did you ever finish your GPZ 550 project? I live in mn and also have a 550gpz I love to collaborate with other builders!
