A crash is the result of the rider's mistake, so don't blame the bike

A rider should be able to control the bike but not controlled by the bike, becuase on the track you don't want to DNF and on the road you don't want to lose you licence

Hard to say without meassurements.
Might look awesome - or too big or too small...

IMO an R6 tail would look great on the GS500.
looking for a new vehicle again.

discussed with the seller, it can be made to fit the size of either cbr250 or 400, it fit the cbr rell well. So i guess the size should be good.

Sorry to go OT here, but yes, it does :laugh: (http://www.gs-500.info/index.php?title=Schrotti) Bike is far away from being finished and the rear frame has to me modded a lot, but it looks very nice. (other mods so far: RF900 (=B12) swing arm and rim, RGV250 USD, pegs, fairing (it's a 1993 frame)

As i haven't done any tail mod before, how much work is needed to fit a different tail?

A new sub frame is what I can think of? i don't have any idea about the seat
