I HATE the rectangular stop light... Any way to use a more -up-to-date- light? like:

I am sorta liking:

(more oval)

or even like:

I guess I just like the oval shape MUCH better.. what do you'll think? the ebay auction look like a good deal? (I don't really like the clear  honestly though..)

And I don't want to replace the whole back fairings

Ideas?

How hard would this project be ?

thanks

Lee, the early R1 taillights (like this one) will swap right onto the GS.  I wanted to get one but never got around to it (obviously). 

There's more info on Pantablo's site: http://pantablo500.tripod.com/id55.html

CAUTION...

You may have to swap out the complete tail fairings in order to accomodate the oval-shaped lense...  Unfortunately, I'm not sure what years came with rectangle and which came with oval.

  I purchaced a r1 taillight for my yamaha snowmobile and just had it laying around.  it is the older rectangular one from 98-99.  It fit right in with minimal mods to the light itself.  It doesn't have the rounded look but it is 10 times brighter than the orginal.  I will take pics and post later.
