Does anyone make a hugger for the GS? If so, are they good quality?  :thumb:

None specifically for the GS500, but a Bandit 400 one can be made to fit. Pablo did it and describes it on his site (http://pantablo500.tripod.com/) which is down at the moment. Check back tomorrow, hopefully his bandwidth stats will be reset and it will be available.

every time I post a link to a page on another forum it gets tons of traffic and goes down...gotta stop doing that!

Bandit 600 hugger is aftermarket only and is made for a much wider wheel/tire so won't look as good on gs. Joris is running a 160 on a gsxr wheel so his looks good. Bandit 400 hugger came stock on the little b4's so can sometimes be found used. Even new they cost less than or about what an aftermarket one costs. My site has all the pertinent info including install photos. be patient, the site is back up in 12 hours or so usually.

Otherwise no on emakes a hugger for the GS. Sv650 hugger doesn't work-been tried.
