Am inclined to think the 4LS drum brake GT550 with chambers is the coolest of the mostly stock GTs. Recently acquired one with a Bates fairing. The fairing looks good but it completely wipes out the bike's coolness.
Any interest in the fairing? Am located in southwest Pennsylvania.

Re: Bates fairing for a 72 GT550
I got one of those on a T500 I just bought, it is being shipped over from america and as soon as it is in my garage- that thing is coming off. hopefully find a buyer for it, have you had any bites? The T also has hard saddle bags on it, will be selling those too. good luck
