Nakids are 'ok' but me being me prefer full ass bikes

Looks pretty clean and tidy that mate

Certainly more proof of value!

She certainly looks better with her clothes off

Perhaps remove the sticker by the seat maybe another good mod ( Personal Pref ) ?

The sticker is stock so I'd prefer it to stay

Hard finding accessories that match the colour of hte bike

Cool. Are speed and tacho meters waterproof?. Just one case but CB400SF version R with bikini cowl had non-waterproof meters, some R users converted to naked, and had meter trouble.
Sorry if not on your GS.

Much much much much much much better. It might even feel fast now, too.

I need some stuff for it though!

I fancy a bellypan, SS brake lines, decent pads, some mirrors.

Any suggestions? It's hard to get bits that match the bike's colour.

Kawashima: The GS500 is originally naked, the bikini fairing is a horrible aftermarket option which was probably once a full fairing (There are lugs underneath the engine which match the style of the top fairing lugs).

The bike was Cat C written off in 2000, so I presume the bottom fairings got mashed and then junked.

Thanks for the comments guys.

I shall be able to clean it more once the outside light works and now I know how to work the MucOff bottle properly

Looks so much better without that plastic.

The only other thing I'd do is the white wheels though they look a bit ..erm..........well............... gay

what about a renthal bar? and some of those lovely twin chrome headlights?



i miss my gs

i know its "only" a GS. and i know my 750bandit is ten times faster.

but it was my first bike/project.

power bronze belly pan, renthal bars, Rassk raisers, shorter dog bones. twin chrome lights, and so on and so on. get it all done. i've known people with rgv usd forks on them. they look mint.

end of the day, the road is not a race track so you may aswell enjoy yourself instead of racing people

You can add a load of plastic/paint/better bars but you'll still have the o'rrible gs frame.

Try doing some high speed motorway work in heavy rain and then say you don't like fairings.

[JonB]

I say don't spend any sort of money on a bike like a GS500 and save up for a meaner machine. Just my opinion.
