Looks like my 75 GT750 tank.

See differences in plastic covers & shapes per suzukicycles.org pics:

76 GT500 vs. 76 GT750

75 GT750

The GT500 definitely looks nice and is tempting but the garage is already full.
BAS (Bike Acquisition Syndrome) - too many bikes but have room for more

OK, on my GT500 the black part on the front of the tank is held on by four screws, it is not hinged in any way, and is a factory attachment.
