New GS500E Owner

[geeky]

Bought a 1991 GS500E with 22,xxx miles on it for $750, had to do some carb work and title/registration/insurance came out to be $1.2k and sorry for the crappy photos, using the iphone for now, once I repaint it this week (hopefully tomorrow) i'll post a photoshoot as I am also a photographer

But enough with the talk, here are specs and pictures:
1991 Suzuki GS500E
Dyno Carb Rejet for elevation (in Boulder, but from Seattle)
Lunchbox K&N Filter
Racetech Springs + Gold Valves (Front Forks)
Katana 600 Rear Shock
08 GS500F Front Brake Setup (rotor, caliper, ss brake line)
Single Seat Conversion
Custom Exhaust (titanium Akropovich muffler-shortened) from an R6
X8 Pocket Bike front end w/ integrated turn signals into the vents

Next Up:
- cover for between tank/rear tail
- bar end mirrors
- re-upholstering the seat
- repaint flat black and high gloss copper
- maybe a gsxr750 rear wheel swap

Hi,backend looks well,nice angle on tail piece and can.Is that an aftermarket old z (kawasaki) tail? 

[geeky]

thanks for the compliment. I honestly have no idea. Went to a bike junk yard and was going around some misc bins and found the tail + the rear lights. I'll post a picture of the rear end tomorrow or friday once I repaint the bike tomorrow and do a photoshoot on Friday.

Hey Guys,

finished the painting and reassembled the bike. Let me know what your opinions are. Photoshoot tomorrow, not tonight.

Next up, exhaust wrap, mirrors, and then a rear wheel swap to a 17x4.5 and running a 160 rear tire, compared to my skinny little 17x3.5 130 right now.
