YOU WOULD FIRST NEED TO LOOK AT AND MEASURE VARIOUS OTHER BIKES BACK ENDS TO FIND OUT SOME BASIC FACTS LIKE LENGTH HEIGHT, WIDTH AND MOUNTING POINTS. ONCE YOU HAVE FOUND A BACK END THAT MIGHT FIT YOU WOULD OF COURSE NEED TO BUY ONE AND MAKE IT FIT. MAKING IT FIT MAY REQUIRE MODIFICATION TO THE SUBFRAME OF THE GS IN ORDER TO CHANGE ITS SHAPE. THE SUB FRAME SUPPORTS BOTH YOUR WEIGHT AND THE WEIGHT OF ANYBODY YOU MAY HAVE ON THE BACK SO ANY MODIFICATIONS SHOULD BE MADE WITH EXTREME CARE AND WILL REQUIRE COMPETENT WELDING. IT WILL LIKELY BE REQUIRED THAT COMPONENTS FROM THE BACK OF THE BIKE WILL NEED MOVING AROUND SUCH AS THE REGULATOR RECTIFIER, COOLANT BOTTLE, UNDERTRAY, INDICATOR AND NUMBERPLATE MOUNTS, BATTERY AND POSSIBLY THE AIR BOX.

IN SHORT MODIFYING THE CURRENT BACK END TO PUT ONE ON FROM A DIFFERENT BIKE IS A COMPLICATED PROCESS WITH PROBLEMS SPECIFIC TO THE BIKE AND TAIL SO ITS VERY HARD TO TELL YOU EXACTLY WHAT TO DO. SOME SPECIALIST FORUMS MAY HAVE MORE INFORMATION ON EXACTLY WHAT REAR ENDS CAN BE FITTED AND WHAT IS REQUIRED. ALTERNATIVELY SOME COMPANIES MIGHT MAKE DIFFERENT SHAPED BODYWORK DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY TO BOLT ON.

Buy a 600 and you get the 600 front end and middle bits thrown in too.
