Hey Everyone,

I just joined.  I bought a 08 GS500F with 400miles on it.  I had a little crash on my last bike and needed to get something and this bike was an awesome deal.  I took it for a short ride after i picked it up (cannot really drive yet) and it seems to handle very well.  I am looking for after market parts and cannot seem to find any.  I definitely want a slightly taller windshield, but also looking for different fairings, front turning signals that go with the body a little better and any other suggestions would be great.

PS: First thing i did was cut off the rear fender.   :icon_twisted:

Thanks,
Hyde

I'm selling a slip on - scorpion oval can and will toss in a jet pack ... $300 and shipping for the flame titanium type, and it fits a 01+ without needing to weld.

Pic is here, and its the flame Ti style. Dunno what bike it came for, I bought it many years ago, dont remember.

This bike has tons of bolt on accesories you just need to fabricate a custom bracket to hold the bolt.

Thanks, that wiki is just what I was looking for.  Anyone happen to know where I could get a tank bra?  I do not want the pad, but the actual vinyl cover.
