GS500 custom exhaust

[Kijona]

What the hell is the purpose of that long loop on the kick stand? Looks like a whisk handle! 

Also, the way that license tag is attached is absurd. Why would you put the plate that close to the chain?

I swear, some people don't know how to tastefully mod their bikes....

I would say it would make it easier to put the kick stand up/down. And as for the plate I would say it would be easier to mount on that side as you have the brake on the other.

Can I offer you some advice here. Why take all the time and money to do this to your GS if you are thinking of upgrading? I mean you may not be going to do it soon but in the future you talking of it. You won't get any of the money back when you sell it. I know the mod bug is hard to tame sometimes. The handlebar mod and mirrors are a good choice as they can be taken off and put on your next bike. Save your pennies for that Ducati you want. 

Force of habit more than anything else.  Every vehicle I've ever owned I've modded.  And I probably won't be doing and exhaust mods unless I stumble across some cheap pipes.  Plus, even when I upgrade, I will be holding onto the GS, because, it's like you said, I'd never get my money back out of it (although, for the steal I got it at, I probably could..).  That, and the GS is basically perfect for short commutes into town and light riding.  That said, I'll definitely be saving the big bucks up for my next bike!
