Where did you install the speakers and are they marine grade? And where did you install a head unit with amp? Why would you need a power seat release. I'd be scared to death that I would accidently activate it and do the ejection seat like on a plane!


Cool bike!

Speakers are in the front fairing under the light, marine 3.5".  Amp by the battery and mp3 player plug. \

Electric remote seat release is so that i never put my keys in the rear fairing to lock the helmet, no more scratches.

Thanks for liking my bike

Get rod of the stock bars and mirrors looks kinda funky how the bars are higher than the windsreen and the mirrors are in the clouds compared to the fairings, other than that looks good

It looks nice. However, I like the green/gold color scheme better. That looked badass!

If you put Clipon's like i did in the blue picture @ www.advancedmobile.ca/gs500  , you are hunched over all the time, and when you hit the front brake, look out for shoulder pain from hell. bike is not confortable at all with clip-on's, so i cut the fairing out for comfort.

Looks funky for sure.  thanks

I've been thinking about cutting off my passenger peg mounts, and the exhaust hanger was one thing that has been holding me back. How is your mount in terms of stability? Is it sturdy?

Very sturdy, i used an 8mm thick piece of aluminum and drilled and bolted it in place, see the picture attached at www.advancedmobile.ca/gs500

Very nice job. I'm digging the nice ergos with the reallly reallly cool "F" look. Congrats on a look that will keep folks scratching their heads !

A right up of the marine speakers would be nice of you.

The light orange/black paint scheme makes the bike look FAST just sitting there. I'm imagining it sitting just out my window and thinking, "Man, that looks like it wants to GO NOW !".


Congrats again, fun looking ride !

:)

Thanks, I may look in to doing that. I've got to put my bike back together first though!
