Title: This could be the coolest mod ever... would it work
Post by: KYGS500E on May 13, 2006, 04:58:22 PM
Hey guys... i'm looking into a new fairing for my bike... the blast one is kinda ehhhh.  I was wondering if anyone has seen the dash for a buell firebolt.  Those bikes are friggen sweet.  Wondering if the gauges are in the fairing or directly attatched to the forks like ours. 

But putting this

I can tell from the photo of the Buell that the gauges are on the front fairing/headlight assembly.  If you got the upper/front farring/headlight from a '04 GS500F then you would have to modify it to take dual headlights

You might be able to unmount the GS guages from the forks and fab something up to have them held in the Firebolt fairing. That'd be pretty sweet.

Do you think the rear end of the comet would fit the GS? Where do you think you could get one?
