I have finally completed my first GS500 street bike. Well, completed until I decide to modify something else. I do have plans for a few changes but they are only cosmetic.
It has taken about 1.5 years to build this bike and well over 200 hours of my labor. It is tough to find time when working 2 jobs/7 days a week and going to school at night.
I bought the motor a couple of years ago for $75. It had spun a rod bearing and was taken completely apart in multiple boxes. It was interesting putting it back together without taking it apart. Luckily all the parts were there. Oddly the motor and frame came from the same guy. Plus, they are both from '97.
I have roughly $1500 in parts invested, no labor included. At least I know the condition of every part on the bike. My ideas have changed from when I first started as I acquired different parts. Originally I was planning on making a basic bike but I can never leave anything alone.
My plan as of now is for this to be ridden by my g/f. I do not riding 2-up as she does not either. But first I need to build a bike for myself, which I have already started. I have most everything except for some parts that I have to fabricate. It will be a little more custom.
I have taken a few pictures and will posting more later. Sadly, I did not take many during the rebuild. If there are any particular areas that you would like see or have questions about, please let me know.

pretty schnazzy
Damn, looks good. Now when do you start mass producing the custom rearsets? :laugh:
Seriously, it looks great.. Makes me wish I had the time and money to paint my forks and frame right now.. especially since I've already got the forks apart.. Oh well, sometime in the future.
awesome! :thumb:
Wow D, it looks great!!!!! Makes me miss my old gs!!! :thumb:
Gorgeous!! :thumb:
That's pretty much exactly where I want mine in the next year. Your bike is EVERYTHING a GS should be... I absolutely love it.
Great work, and thanks for sharing all of the pics and information!

That's a GREAT job! Well done :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:
fantastic example dgyver.
great choice in stuff and nice attention to detail. thanks for sharing.
Wow, nice job! Especially knowing that you got it in pieces.. OOPHA.
That looks great!
One day I will get up the nerve (and the money, and the time, and the space - LOL) to buy myself an old bike and do a restore. I've always wanted to be able to tear a bike down and then build it up again.
The bike looks hot, wish I could do work like that.
so what bike are you thinking about next?
VERY NICE :thumb: Awesome job :cheers:
Thanks everyone for the compliments.
Quote from: l3uddha on February 16, 2007, 08:14:04 AM

GSXR750 USD front end, RGV banana swingarm w/ Kat wheel, undertail exhaust, race tail, 541 motor from my track bike until I get the GR650 motor w/ the 4-valve head completed. I already have all the parts for the head conversion. In the end it will basically just have a GS tank and a GS frame.
that's a boat load o work you've done. i'll take it you're not commuting on this one, given the shape of the tires ?
i'll hopefully be allowed to do a few things to my gs, if/when i get another bike to commute on while this one is in pieces.
good work ! :thumb:
nice! love the bike.

I do not commute with a motorcycle anymore, gave that up 20 years ago. I only use them for play.
Mean looking, well done!
I love everything but the headlights and mirrors... I just like the cyclops more. :thumb:
Great friggen job!!!!!
Beautiful!
Welcome back, Meighan!
That's just plain snazzy D! :thumb:
Now I know what you needed that press-in head piece for. I like it better there than in my garage. ;)
If you didn't love it so much you might make a living at it. I can see it now....
"Next on Dygver's Garage....Tension flare as D's Rottie grabs the burger he intended to eat after 16 straight hours of custom GS work on top of studying for 2 exams."
Dgyver: "<BLEEP> That was my dinner! What were you thinking??!!"
Rottie: "Woof! Woof!" <cocking head to side and panting>
Yeah, sometimes I think I enjoy building bikes more than riding. I wish I could make money at it.
I do have another triple clamp if you need it or whatever you need for your e-Suki.
I can honestly say that is the BEST looking GS500 I have EVER seen. Hands down dude. Good job. It also makes me angry at Suzuki. THIS is what the new GS500F's should have been. Forget that crappy plastic fairing. :icon_rolleyes: :icon_rolleyes:
Fixed your pics.

Could you possibly put up a couple pics of the bracket for the tail light ?? I love the recesed tail light .. from the pic you have up.. it looksl ike you moved it in almost an inch....
Looks great.. My 05' GS is in pieces right now being converted from an E into an F ( i rather like the fairings :P ).. you can still buy E's brand new in Canada.. but the frames dont have the holes for the fairing brackets, which is fun to line everything up let me tell ya...
Another question I have is why did you select the 40/135 jet sets ??? so far what i've read on here, everyone goes up to around 147/150 mains when pulling out the airbox and going open filter.. I'm getting pod filters for mine and was thinking i would have to fiddle around with all these larger size jets.. how does the 40/135 combo work for ya ?
Thx and happy building.. :D
Yeap, just like everyone else, that bike is very nice. Well done! Great detail! That's what a factory bike should be! Great job!

I posted them as links on purpose. This way those with slower connections would be able to view the main information and be selective on viewing the rest of the pics.

I used the mounting tabs from the 89-00 bungie rails and the bracke light bracket from a SV/TL since it has the correct size hole for the rubber grommet. Cut and welded them to pull the light in.

I do not agree with those size jets and voiced this before. I tried them before and my bikes ran poorly. My experience has shown that the 150 is too big and runs rich, even the advocator of the 150 agrees that it is on the rich side. Even with my old 555 and now 541 track motors, I only run 140/145. I am starting with 135 and may change but no more than 1 size. I will need more time to know, once it warms up. I am a fair weather rider now.
excellent.. thanks for the info..
Looks good, D!! Not that I'm surprised! Makes me look forward to a time when I can finish the Yami project I started last year that's been under a tarp in the garage!! Enjoy it!!
Since it was such a nice day today, when I got home from work I was able to take her out for a couple a runs on my street (not tagged yet). It was a little scary getting on her for the first time, never know what will happen after a complete rebuild.
I forgot how small the GS is, especially without any fairings. So far, everything is working great. That makes me feel really good, especially since I have started on my next project. The mirrors do suck but I got a different set today.
I still need to check the accuracy of the speedometer. Should have done a plug chop, next time.
Very nice example; it's how the GS should be rolled off the production line. I'm working on a custom GS project of my own. Rebuilding and changing a damaged stock 2001 GS500 into streetfighter bit by bit... I was wondering if you had to make any changes to get your 2004 tank to fit into the frame? I want a 2004 tank in my frame but unsure of the swop along with the fuel switch and cap. Anyone else out there know if the tanks can be swoped?
I've just registered on the site, but have been catching a wave here now and then when the waves allow... A great site because of the people involved. Thanks.
The tank is a direct fit since the main frame has not changed. But you will also need the seat, tail body work and brake light. The tail swap requires mounting brackets to be added since the mounting points changed. The gas caps are pretty much standard between most previous Suzuki bikes. There was a change but it was only for locking security. Most GSXR's (up until 03/04/05, you can easily see the difference), 1st gen SV's (not sure about 2nd), and all TL's gas caps will fit. The frame mounted fuel selector valves did change in 01 when the bodywork and tank changed. The valve is not a direct swap but you may be able modify the bracket. I have not looked at that.
dgyver,
great job and very inspiring. I'm going to ebay today to look for those blue fuel lines... :)

so that is an electronic speedometer and not mechanical?
Quote from: jeast on February 23, 2007, 08:47:18 PM

Correct.
I used the pick-up from a SV but the SV axle is 17mm and the GS/Katana is 15mm. I took apart the GS speedo drive and turned down the metal insert so it would fit inside the SV pick-up. Works like a charm.
Just question? how u add to rear well as 150??? Cause i know max is possible 140 cause of chain.

Plenty of people have run 150's and some 160's.
I used a Bandit 400 4" wheel and the hub is narrower than the GS so I had to make some spacers for the wheel to fit. I do not have a B4 cush drive but a GS cush drive fits the wheel. I shimmed the sprocket out a some to gain a little more clearance eventhough the chain was not touching the tire. I may modify the cush drive or replace the bolts with longer ones to allow for more clearance with a thicker shim.
Can i see some pic to get this idea. Cause i want to do same think to put knee down on road.Thanx

1) You can put your knee down with stock wheels. I did when I was running Sport Demons in stock sizes.
2) Don't try and put your knee down on the street. Save that pace for the track.
The mods required are basically the same as the Kat wheel in the FAQ.
Hey Brian, I have been fixing your old frame this weekend. Not much more to do...
oh man... i love the way that rear caliper looks. super hot. *drool*
The stock rear wheel just 130 and on some times i need to entry to curve with 120 km/h speed. In this moment i can put knee down but i feel wheel is not enough. I drive on some other bike has 150 wheel and was just soft ride on road.

Well, your feel is wrong then. Like I said, I've put knee down
on the track with stock sized tires no problem.
Will the Katana forks fit the GS triples?
No.
Kat = 41mm
GS = 37mm
Cool. Thanks!
you have sold me on the Dominator headlights & Aztec8 brackets. I'm not digging my Acerbis too much.
it looks simple enough.
I took the bike out today and put some miles on her today. Did not go to any fun stuff yet, got a late start....had some wheels to finish painting.
The suspension is a little soft for my preference but I did not set it up for my 200 lbs. My other project is set up more for my liking.
Even with earplugs the exhaust is faily loud, sounds good. I had a wiring mistake on the gauges, I did not hook up a constant power. The trip meter would reset itself when the bike was turned off. Not sure how much drain on the battery this will cause. I really like the SV gauges.
I replaced the mirrors with some aftermarket ones. Fairly decent but I will be replacing those with some SV mirrors shortly.
I did a plug chop when I got home. Need to go up 1 size, so looks 142.5 will be required. It did suck having to push the bike back to my shop. (note to self....go mountainbiking)
Other than that, it all seems to be running good. Overall, I am very please with the results.

I can never leave anything alone for long. Since I had to rebuild the forks due to a bad leaking seal, I stiffened the forks a little with a thicker oil. Thanks to ben2go for the help. :cheers:
With them being stiffer, the rear became too soft. So...I modified a modification. I removed a stiffer spring from a 04 GSXR600 shock and installed it on a 01 GSXR1000 body. Turn out just the way I wanted....except for the 04 Gix6 shock in pieces. I could swap springs on the 01 Gix1k shock without disassembling it, the bottom plate is slotted. The 04 Gix6 shock could not be used since a reservoir is on the left and would hit the frame valve, works just fine on my track bike.
I will be making a baffle to quite down the Yosh, just need to find where they hide the perforated stainless at work. I do have new packing which I will repack if needed when I have it apart.
........still have my 92 to complete....I have not forgot about it.....

Holy sh*t that is a sweet looking bike. As others have said, they should have come from the factory looking like that!! Awesome job!!

Hi dgyver,
Just wondering if you could post a copy of the template you used/made for the rearsets brackets. I.m hoping to do a set this weekend and would just like someother ideas also what grade of aluminium did you use? Thanks :thumb: :cheers:
Not really sure if I want to give out a drawing of my design yet. Llet me think about it since I have a lot of time in designing them. There are several other modifications that are required to make them useable.
I used 1/4" 6061 aluminum on the adjustables. There is some flex, but no more than how much ProTek rearsets flex. I am thinking of making a set from 3/8" to see how much they flex. On my track bike, I have a set of fixed rearsets made from 1/2" 6061 aluminum...no flex. The only reason I use 6061 is that I had a readily available supply.
Hey D... how are you making the brackets? If you were interested, and if there was interest in the board, I could probably have a batch made up for more or less the cost of materials, done on a CNC waterjet. Obviously, it'd be a limited run, I wouldn't keep the original CAD files or anything. Markup would be up to you. Drop me a PM if you're interested.
gs500f tail fits on gs500e sub frame?
i might do that if so since my gs500e tail is rashed a little anyways and the 500f rear/seat looks way better.

I am making them with a bandsaw and drill press. Nothing fancy since all I have are mostly woodworking tools. I had talked to someone here about doing that before but it did not happen. I would be willing to have some made but I will need to review the design and update the drawing first, one of the holes is out of location a little.
What file format do you need? I originally did these in AutoCAD but can model it in SolidWorks.

The 01+ tail is not a direct bolt on. You will need to make 6 new mounting brackets, raise the latch and make brackets for the brake light.

What file format do you need? I originally did these in AutoCAD but can model it in SolidWorks.
I'll have to double check, but I believe an AutoCAD file will be fine. I'll drop you a PM when I know for sure.
bike looks bad-ass :)
I really like the gauges: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v64/dgyver/97GS/97GSgauges03.jpg
