Hey Did you ever find a seat. I have an 08 GS500F and I wanted to get a cover for the rear seat but cant find one. I thought they were universal but the dealer said they were not. Anybody know where I can find one?

This is NEWGS500F's bike with the seat cowl. I think it looks better with the grab handle.

Yes, it happened. redesigned the tail lights. I will be trying to make a mold in the winter to sell extras.

Looks nice. Glad to see you rethought the tail lights, I was going to say something about them... I've always thought it was a good thing to be able to see the brake clearly from the side.

Have you compared it to the JamesG tail that was around for awhile?

What are you going to do for a seat?
