[gs500zach]

check out my solo tail im workin on I hope to have it done by the end of the week.. and I painted my frame semi-gloss black




also heres my tail light, I think this is how they should have come from the factory.. its a pretty easy and fast mod that really makes the tail look better..

Looks great!  Nice color!  Showcases the swingarm; you'd better keep that clean!

Holy Low Clipons Batman!!! Looks nice though, what are you using for the seat? chopping the stock one?

[gs500zach]

haha yea I like my clip-ons low... I thought about using the stock seat,just striping all the padding off, but Im just going to do the whole seat fiberglass..

What did you do to do the taillight mod?

[gs500zach]

the can is just a stock sv650's        the tail light is flipped and sunk in  so its more flush, a stock gs500e tail hangs way to far out..

pantablo has the mod instructions on his website.  Not sure what the website is but find one of his posts and there should be a link there.

That's the best looking tail piece that I've seen for thse things. The proportions are just right and it matches the rest of the bike well. I noticed that you chopped your pylon pegs, so you already can't carry a passenger so you don't loose much utility either. You could actually use it as a small trunk, gaining some utility. Looks good with the clipons and dual headlights. Well done 

Not so sure about the coffe can on your car though  hate those things. Oh well, bike looks good.

yeah bike looks great. Love the paint job, real clean looking bike. Love the tailight and dual headlight. Im guessing there dominator headlights?

[rob1bike]

Are you kidding me? That is one of the best looking gs's I've seen! Great job! I'd like to turn you loose on my 2001!!! Good clean lines!

[gs500zach]

It isn't completely the same, but it is an alternative.

+1 I'd also really like to know how to do this mod.

[gs500zach]

on my tail light, all I did was remove it, cut the two brackets that it bolts to,grinded them a little then welded them under the rear support thing haha..

heres what I got done on the seat tonight..

[makenzie71]

oh so you're making like a cover, right?  Not a molded tail?  Because what it looks like, to me, is that you're making something you can slip on there when you're running solo, and can put the stock seat back on for pillions.  Correct?

[gs500zach]

not sure, I thought about making it removable, but ill prob just fuse it to the rest of the bodywork and make one big mold..

[hmmmnz]

what about when you want to change the battery or get to the electrics?
looks good though, nice effort
