I stacked my bike in november and I have been slowly putting it back together. Pics have been put up on the photo gallery.
Bike:
1996 GS500E

Mods:
Resprayed Ford Supreme Blue Pearl. Out of a can. Local paint shop mixed colour then it was put in a pressure pack. Not bad but still needs sanding to remove all the orange peel.
Dominator dual headlights.
R1 tail light lens.
Ecliptech LED insert (originally for a CBR250).
Reflective rim stripes.
Vesrah semi metallic brake pads.
New fuel hose.
RXT handlebars with foam grips and generic bar ends.
New OEM air filter. Old one was blocked as and it ran rich.

Still to go:
Redo fuel hose. The stuff I got is way too thick.
Custom brackets for the dominators. I have a light from an 06 F model coming, and I am going to use whichever I like better once I have tried them both.
Heavier bar ends or filling the bars with something to reduce vibration.
Rejet. Runs lean now. Runs better with the choke on at highway speeds.
LED Blinkers and a new relay. I really like LEDS!

That seems like all of it. As I said, pictures are in the gallery.

Sounds good man!

One word of advice, though. I wouldn't run with the choke at highway speeds. You'll carbon foul your plugs like a mother.

Hang out there, we may flame, but we don't hate.

My attitude is in serious need of readjustment, and I'm ok with that.
