Hi!

I finally had time today to do a few modifications such as putting flush turn signals on front, shorter turn signals on back and cutting off the fender...







Here are a couple of old shots as well (riding and at work)...





After the modifications, I gave the bike a nice wash and drove to a boba place to get a drink. While I was sitting down a few kids walked by it and one of them told their friends that it was a GSXR  :P

Phaedrus

Richard died in a motorcycle accident that was at no fault of his own.  We lost a good friend and good member of this board.  Though Rich may be gone, his legacy will live on here.

Funniest name I was ever called on here "cap'n fast n' furious"

A guy once told me "having nitrous on your car is alot like dating a hot girl with a STD, your afraid to hit it because of what might happen."

They are both from Lockhart Phillips:
Part# 122-9752 (Front)
Part# 122-9832 (Back)

You can also read a little about how I did it here: http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b171/ImJustPondering/gs500f_FenderTurnSignals.jpg

I also removed some stickers today too: http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b171/ImJustPondering/gs500f_StickerRemoval.jpg

I looked on the website for the part number for the flush mounts and nothing came up. I typed in the name you put on the photobucket website and got these.   Lightworks Short Stalk IV LED

are these them?

That's the same way I opted to do my rear fender & signals.
Looks good and I second the clear taillight. I have the same bike and the clear tail makes it look much better w/ the new signals.

Hi,

I don't know if this got sent to you in the private message or now so I'll just respond again:

front:
http://www.parts411.com/acb/showdetl.cfm?&DID=9&Product_ID=59696&CATID=56.0
* note that this pair won't cover the hole. It leaves about a cm but it still looks good if you just center it so that that top and bottom space is very little. I saw a nice perfect circle one at a bike shop that would cover the hole completely but I like how these mounts turned out so I won't be changing them anytime soon.

back:
http://street-bikes.ridegear.com/cgi-bin/SoftCart.exe/shop/Marker_Lights/F-5359_Short_Stalk_V_Marker_Lights.html?E+scstore
* these fit perfectly where I mounted them.

I didn't puchase my parts from those sites (just googled it for ya). I suggest getting black + whatever screen (clear?). I'm not much of a fan for carbon fiber on this bike =/.

You should be able to find these parts and more at your local bike shop. I was just at CycleGear yesturday to get another jacket (firstgear) and they have a lot of things and their customer service is great. Their website is here http://www.cyclegear.com/ but I suggest giving them a visit if you live in California.

Yah I was looking at those before I got the gs500f. For now I'll probably stick with the solid red tails (clear ones don't seem that nice to me at the moment). I'm going to jet http://www.dynojet.com/jetkits/motorcycle/suzuki.php the bike next and will revisit exterior modifications after that  8)
