Post by: frankieG on July 08, 2007, 12:18:28 PM
1. is the 04GSF able to take swing arm spools as bolt on? anyone here have some for sale?

2. are there bolt on frame sliders?  easy hard please explain

3. are they alum or billet foot pegs the are a simple fit?

1.  Not to my knowledge. Obviously with the appropriate amount of time and equipment anything is possible.
2.  There are frame sliders for the GS5F out there, but they will all require cutting a hole in your fairings.
3.  With a dremel and some shims you can make just about an foot peg work.  There are companies out there that sell semi-universal kits.  I think one is called Orion. I had some bright purple ones on my GS.

Don't even say a word pandy :flipoff:

Drill a hole in the swingarm and bolt them on. Make sure it is clear of the chain adjusters.
or you could weld a threaded mount on the bottom.
8mm is standard for Suzuki.
I have installed them both ways.
