Yup,

Spent yesterday morning cutting and modding to fit, an RGV250 rear hugger, and attatching it to the GS5 Thumbs Up

Its a fairly standard and common mod with the GS500's, but i realy think it gives a better look than the standard chain guard Thumbs Up Anyway, heres how the day went:

Started off with the Original Chain Guard:

And the RGV Hugger:

Then after a dry fit, and a bit of pencil marking i made the first few cuts:

I then spotted this from my garage door Shocked :

Then an hour or so later, i had the final cut :

Cool

Although ok, its a fairly basic mod - and its nothing amazing... it is the first mod that i have /realy/ modded for the GS5.

Ok so i have "Aftermarket" parts etc on the bike, but i think this is the first proper part i have personally Modded to fit Thumbs Up

Cool Laughing

Bandit 250, Bandit 400, RGV250, all the same one i believe Thumbs Up

Ive been told i should cut it down a bit, make the bit that covers the wheel a lot shorter...

However i duno, i kind of like it long like that...
