No. The photo makes them look like 72 style with big end thrust washers and that would suggest that maybe they are 72 width and maybe not 74 on width, but you would have to check with the seller.

I didn't realize GT550 had an early style rod? I knew the GT750 did change early on

Would be interesting to hear about these rods... like how will the pin and needle fit into rod eye. Some stuff his tolerances are loose.

Know one I know of has any GT550 conn rods and most NOS are long gone

Don't know about the items on ebay...but I just purchased a nos con rod and pin for my 1972 GT550 from Paul Miller. It wasn't cheap but the shipping was super fast and my crank was finished on time. Paul is my go-to Suzuki shop.

Good luck!

That's IF you can get hold of him and IF he isn't cranky when you do.

Duh. My bad. I had looked at their GT750 rods and assumed that's what these were without checking. That said, are the 550 rods like early 750 rods with thrust washers at the big ends or are they like late style 750 rods?
