Your best bet is to post a "Wanted" ad and keep an eye out here in the Sale Section:  http://gstwins.com/gsboard/index.php?board=2.0

And look on ebay...

If you're thinking of going with stock GS mirrors, I'd suggest looking for a pair of 2nd Generation SV mirrors (the rectangle ones) on ebay and SVRider...  You can also get bar-end mirrors.

You can look for the stock GS headlight here in the For Sale Section: and on ebay...  But, you can also get an SV headlight to fit... Pablo has info on his page here: http://pantablo500.tripod.com/id49.html

Bent Bike might have some of the parts you need...  You can find them online and they have two locations, one in Lynnwood and one in Auburn.

Things you'll need to buy:
Headlight mounting brackets (go over the tubes)
Headlight "rabbit ears"
Headlight bucket and lense assembley
Mirrors

Fairings are weak.

Just do it!

Selling the fairings will make for a tougher sale later on. It is best to keep them.

Please do it! A black naked 05 needs to happen.
