Title: Modifications
Post by: shyn504 on January 13, 2008, 09:31:09 PM
I have a 2007 GS500f  that I want to suit up with a GS500r fairing from www.aluziomotos.com. I also want to change the exhaust but the dealership told me that they can't find one that would fit or even be good for it. The last two things are, I  want to put some custom wheels on it but I can't location any. What is the biggest wheels I can put on their without any problems. If someone can help me out with this I would really be appreciate it.

welcome to the site!  The link didnt work for me.  Have you tried doing a search on wheels here?  I have read a few threads about fitting other wheels, fairings, exhaust etc..

Just want to let you know the GS500r fairings are going to be quite expensive, don't want to deter you from doing it but just as a heads up. As far as exhaust anything will work with some modification, I built a flange and used a GSXR can, others have also used other models. Try a search and you should find a ton of ideas on here. As far as wheels check that thread, also check the wiki, I believe there are some instructions on wheels swaps there. Gonna be tough to find custom wheels for the GS, most swaps are from katanas or bandits, and are basically the same as what come stock aside from the size. Good luck and ride safe. :thumb:

A vance and hines exhaust will work on your new gs.  thats what i have on my 04.  the problem with going to a dealer and looking
this stuff up is that their books don't list exhaust for 03-up gs500 but if you order the pre 03 exhaust it will fit,same thing with the K@N drop in filter, and the K@N filter that eliminate the air box. if it fits the gs500e it will fit the gs500f :cheers:
