I bought this front end for my GS500, but never put it on and sold my GS500. It has been modified to fit on a GS500 by the previous owner, and all you need to put it on your bike is some new steering bearings, but you already knew that right?

Complete front end:
  -brakes (lines, master, stainless lines, rotors, calipers, pads)
  -.95 RaceTech springs
  -woodcraft clip ons (one of the handles is a little bent, but its aluminum and should straighten out, also comes with grips)
  -polished and deburred top triple

$300+shipping

Its in pretty good shape. Its still in the box, and I don't have time right now to take it out for pictures as I'm headed canoeing for 5 days tomorrow. I figured this would give it time for some exposure while I'm gone. If you have any questions or want to buy it, I'll message you back when I get back.

Thanks!!

Who told you this ?

Its aluminum, it will break if you attempt to do anything with it would be more likely. Aluminum does not take kindly to being bent and then straightened. Mild steel yes, usually it can be and will get back 99% of its original strength. Aluminum is brittle, and heating it will just make it worse.
Cool.

Okay, so I came back, took some pictures, and boxed it up really well. I also straightened the handlebar. (While it is true that generally steel is more ductile than aluminum at certain temperatures, this was a 5 degree bend we are talking about).

So, on with the pictures:

oh yeah, i forgot about this, the rear part of the fender has a little crack in it. It appears the PO was planning on cutting the back of the fender. It's probably about an inch long.
