Title: I needs a few parts
Post by: Domindart on July 26, 2008, 05:58:20 PM
Got a 2001 gs 500.  I need a few parts:

-a right hand mirror.  cracked the glass part so if I can get just the glass and fit it in, great.  But if not.  I will need to get that right hand mirror
-the gauge cluster/cover. 
-silver handlebars.  These are bent and I would hate to bend them back as they were bent once before.  But well see.

Maybe someone can suggest a place to get these parts.  I dont know of any suppliers as of now, but looking.

Thanks guys and gals.

Brent

ps.  my friend who cant ride a motorcycle took it for a ride.  stupid of me to let him but lesson learned...

The stock handlebars SUCK, so get the Bikemaster Superbike bars instead. They're lower, which places more weight on the front wheel, improving handling (assuming you've upgraded the shitty front suspension). The riding position is MUCH better; the bars are available in Black or Chrome for less than $20 online, or through any local shop...
