Title: Noob, Minor Mod to My GS
Post by: gs500f_2k5 on January 17, 2007, 02:35:31 PM
Hello everyone!

I got the '05 GS last month with 3600 miles. My first motorcycle and first time riding.
Been riding a few time on local roads, Highway(Freeway), and already experienced gusty wind, rain, and very cold weather.
I just lowered the GS 1.5 inches with new dogbone(link) and handle bar riser from twisted throttle.
Changed the spark plug to NGK Iridium. SilverStar H4 headlight on the way.
When I put the GS down from the center stand onto the side stand it fell and broke the right mirror.
I have not ride it yet with the mod, and will wait until I replace the broken mirror and cut the side stand to get the original lean angle.
I will post an update on riding with the mod.
