I just found this board. I was wondering if it would be fairly easy to convert a new GS500F to a naked? Has it been done?

I just don't like the looks of fairings.

Pretty easy. Just remove the bodywork and brackets and put a headlight bracket assembly on the forks. Donno about the headlight socket or if its still compatiable, that might be the hardest part, but its not that difficult.

Thanx for the opinions. Any chance somebody has seen it done or has a picture?

I just can't seemed to find a used GS500 in san diego, so GS500F - F it is.

Too bad you don't live on this side of the country, I need a set of F fairings to make molds of. If you'd bought the bike, and lent me the bodywork, I would have done the conversion for you...
