LMAO Suzuki Stevo..best thing I ever did with my GS is buy it and keep it as close to mint as possible!

I like it simple and pure!
That is sweet, are the red rims OEM?

Stevo Suzuki everthing on the bike is as is. The day I bought in Monterey California 1991. Except..

1. I painted the rims myself. red and did not have an issue with the plastic ring
2. Did the fenderectomy before it was called that
3. I opted for the Targa lower and upper fairing and tank bra.
4. I made the 1/4 myself that is on it now (2009)

But other then that the bike looks like the day I bought it pretty much.

Led's and luggage, keep the pimp hand strong with what maters  O0

I'll agree that the original tanks were a little too skinny for most tail swaps....




This always reminds me of...

Hahaha, was that you that posted that picture on here before? Because I definitely remember a picture exactly like that popping up on this forum in reference to my old tail. It would be pretty amusing if it was someone else who said it too.

Heather actually mentioned that she liked the tail being like that because it gave the bike some curves like a girl, in what is otherwise a pretty man dominated activity.

Yep. Me. Although I used a slightly different pic (s) at the time. Couldn't find that one so went with the next closet one I could find  :icon_mrgreen:

IIRC, the last pic or pics I used was at some awards show with people behind. But she wore the same kind of gear - tight black number.

There's nothing wrong with you at all!

Mrs. has an '09 GS500F, and apart from peeling off the fairing stickers she's completely tickled with it as-is!

I like this thread. It makes me feel cool for being broke. HaHa

I like the look of the older rear plastics, much cleaner lines. The newer ones are just following a fashion for fat looking rear ends which started with trying to emulate the look that racers with underseat pipes had.

I thought the whole reason I did a tail swap was because I wanted a nicer bike but didn't want to pay for it.  :dunno_black:

Haha, the fact that I took the time to put a new tail on my gs makes me feel way more broke than if I actually bought a bike that looked like I wanted.

This is my first legal bike.  I got lucky walking into a SuzuKi dealer and having just enough cash for the wonder twin here.  Gimmie a couple more seasons and a spill or two and I'll probably have a farm tractor seat welded up.
