ALright, here are the images. You can either get it painted or unpainted. These pictures are unpainted. I got the email from him, just now.  Unfortunately, this company is located in Europe. But its no different then getting one shipped from brazil. So here are the pictures.

I dont remember how much you paid for the kit from brazil, but this kit here unpainted costs $222 USD.
The painted kit would set you back $314 USD.

It is a direct replacement, and should fit WAY better then the kit from brazil that you guys had a hard time installing.

IMO you would be better off painting it yourself. But 200$ isnt that bad a price i guess. The website is http://www.freestreetdesign.com/. I could PM you a copy of the email he sent me, but it is in french. So, your choice. lol.

Hmm. I think it has some potential. I'd like to see it from a distance, instead of close up shots. Doesnt look bad.

Now if only someone would make a hugger so you wouldn't get crap all over that undertail  :roll:

I haven't been keeping up on things, do the GS500R guys in Brazil make a hugger?

it's cool to have the option; I personally dont think it's worth the money though. I think my fenderectomy looks a lot better & it didnt cost a dime. At some point I'll get around to changing the signals & maybe the brake light:

new signals & brake light can be done dirt cheap. is that fender really worth the $200+?

It's ok, but I think I'll just add that money into my "next motorcycle savings jar".
