I need a few parts!

[bigd2010]

Just bought a 2004 gs500f and I need a few parts. I need a set of mirrors, fender eliminator(if they have em), integrated tail light and anything else to make the bike have a bit more umph.

nothing you listed gives the bike any "Umph".


you listed pretty "Look at me Look at me" stuff

[bigd2010]

I said anything else to give the bike more umph. This implied that I would be open to performance mods that people had for sale.

Hi BigD2010,

The mods you can do to this bike are pretty much limited by imagination and technical ability

The most common mods  you'll find on the message board are probably:

-- Lowering the front drive sprocket a tooth from 16T to 15T (or 14t if you want a wheelie monster)... It will give your bike more pep, but you will loose out on top speed (but what are you doing up there anyway)... (about $25.00)
-- Front suspension... The front suspension on this bike is soft, to get more out of it... Upgrade the springs to something firmer. (about $80.00)
-- Carburator/Airflow ... Rejet and get a K&N Lunchbox ($40.00) ... or with new exhaust. ($400.00)

For more detail on what I covered, plus lots more; visit the Wiki: http://cgi.stanford.edu/~sanjayd/gs500/Main/Upgrades

Cheers,

...(or 14t if you want a wheelie monster)... It will give your bike more pep, but you will loose out on top speed...

I actually got a higher top speed because I could run right up to redline in 6th with my 14T compared to the 16T, where it would run out of steam.

And yes, I did test this against another bike, and no, I'm not assuming that redline with the changed gearing is higher than the old power-limited top-speed is, I know for a fact that it is (at least on my bike).
