Well my 550 is lacking in lbs of compression and there's not much to salvage, so I sold it. Now I'm looking to trade my CX for a GS500. Wouldn't mind an F :).
The bike runs beautifully. I've fixed all of her known issues and made her a great road bike again.
Pics can be seen here: http://gstwins.com/gsboard/index.php?topic=41183.0
Full exhaust, Uni pods, 310mm floating brake kit, built forks, and some other mods. Comes with spare engine in good shape, standard comstars (has reverse comstars on the bike), slightly hacked wiring harness, MX bars, roasted stator for rewinding, and an assortment of other bits.
There's a bike here I've been eyeballing for a couple weeks that I can pick up for $2500...so that's my set selling price...would rather just trade the bike for something I'd rather have. Aside a GS500, I wouldn't mind trading for a working 550 or similar, or the oddball VF500F if anyone has one laying about.
dammit if you werent too far lol. a cx and a cbx are on my list. but transporting one bike one way and one the other, would be prohibitive lol. anyhoo GL with sale. someone WILL get this thing

Oh yea ducati show off ... that ducati is just a GS500 wannabe ... :cookoo:
You'll be back ... oh yea ... atleast to buy a rat GS ... but you'll be back.

I will concede that I'm keeping an eye out for a rat GS to use around town and save the Duc for weekend fun. I much prefer the GS's $10 oil changes to the Ducati's $60. But you would never catch me giving up my baby L-twin unless it was for one a dem der 4v Testretta L-twins, in which case I would definitely have to get a GS for my daily ride.
actually I'm settling for an I4/I2 because my dream bike is a little out of my reach...there's an XB12R here for $4500 I just don't have :(
