One off a GT750 should do it I think.

And a GT750 master cylinder or you'll need a grip like Iron man to stop!
Make sure you get the same type of disc as there are different designs too.
Oh, and you'll need a left 750 fork leg as well as there isn't anywhere to fit a caliper on the 550 left leg.
I understand that a GS550 front end is a near enough fit - I've bought one for one of my restos, but not anywhere near ready to fit it yet. 'Mag' style wheels too and the GS550 swing arm and rear wheel is a straight swap - except for the hydraulics of course.
You didn't expect it all to be straightforward did you? :lol:
Think of how stupid the average person is, then realise that half of them are more stupid than that.
