Crashed 2006 GS 500F naked conversion

[santeria13]

Hi all,

As some of you may know, I got into a bad accident around 3 weeks ago, where my front end got wrecked, including bent front forks and clamps, mirrors, scratched/cracked fairings and a cracked stator cover. Luckily I was fine, and apart from the stated damage, the bike is in good condition.

So here is how it looked before:


Bent forks/lower clamp:


Fairing removal:

Sprocket cover replacement:


Front forks removed:


Lower clamp and steering stem removed:


New progressive fork springs:


New set of forks in place :


Fender and wheel back on, fork/rim stickers applied:


Blacked out headlight:


How she looks now:

Headlight kept from stock; dremelled out the pointy plastic brackets on the side and used some universal headlight mounting brackets

New engine cover sanded down and repainted along with sprocket cover.



Got a new delkevic ds70 slip on as well as a yamaha r6 08 shock to fit on. More pics to come soon!
