Title: E tail to F tail
Post by: el_crispito on February 18, 2007, 01:10:18 AM
I have what seems to me to be a simple question.  One that no Suzuki dealers can (or care to) answer for me.  Do the sharper tail fairings that come on the 500F fit seamlessly on the 500E?  I have a 95 500E and would dig a crisper line off the back (though I would have to paint it since I have the ocean blue job going).  Thanks for whatever info you can give me.

There have been several posts about this. But a quick summary....You will need a 01+ tank, seat, lock , brake light, and make mounting brackets for the newer plastic. Also the grab bar mount is higher. It can be done. Below is a pic of what I did on my 97.

Thanks a lot.  I had been delving through here but hadn't seen anything about it.  Thanks for the pic, too.
