Now why would you want blue when you can get YELLOW !!!
>>> http://gstwins.com/gsboard/index.php?topic=44526.0 <<<
You get any offers on the bike, I had one guy ask about mine... He decided to get a SV :cry:
Haha Blue over Yellow anyday my friend! I got an sv shock, maybe my bike is an SV wana-be?!! LOL. But yea 3 people are interrested, but wondering if anyone on here would want it? Its got alot of tasteful mods and its seen 130mph. I have a 2 down front sprocket that comes with the bike, its not installed. To a high rpm when cruising so i put the stocky back on, it really pulls hard with the 2 down sprocket on.

cool ! what did you pull it with ? ;)
nice bike man, good luck with the sale :)
haha ok maybe 125 downhill. Seriously ive had this thing on ebay twice, craigslist and several other forum sites and ive had 3 people intrerested but never followed through with coming out and looking at it. Whats the deal?? this bike is perfect... zero problems and looks absolultly brand new! Is the price too high??? Anybody have any adivice?
I reckon that bike looks ace! What are you upgrading to?
Im lookin to upgrade to a 1998, or the like, ZX 7R ninja, the old school fatbody sportbikes. My dream bike is 04 gsxr 750 but i just dont have 6 grand laying around. lol
Looks like id be hangin on to the GS untill spring time when its a buyer market out. Thinking of doing a katana rear wheel swap to add to the modifications list. Plus modding is FUN! haha
How are the mods so far? Anybody have a few pointers?
Much obliged
would have been nice to know about this before i dropped 3k on mine.....
how did you like the street glow kit? easy to instal? does it look good? are there wires hanging everywhere? how much did you pay for the kit?
The streetglow kit is excellent. Its just a 3 inch long led bar with about 20 leds in it. It cost me bout 15 bucks and was a quick easy install and looks very clean. Only one wire to deal with to the battery. I installed a fuse in the line and its got 3 modes, strobe, pulse and steady burn.
I dont know how youd install it on a gse due to not having a faring like the gsf to mount it on.
Thanks on the compliments :cheers:
Hey man would you happen to know what kind of bars those are?
Custom bars. I bent them cold myself with a bender (no pinching). I painted them with textured paint to make it look like the plastic inside. Each curve of the bar is 30 degrees, its just perfect. It feels a heck of alot sportiers and my hands are spaced closer together so they dont look like they are way outside the bike.
If i would do it again i wonldnt even bother with making custom bars. Just go out and by a set of Clip-ons!
Hope it helps.
I can also make some more if people are interrested... :thumb:
Man those bars are awesome. I wish there was a way I could make stuff like that. How much do you think it would cost for you to make some more of those?
How much for the vr6 in the background? ;)
Haha, that gorgeous pearly green car is my baby. Its the reason why ive been rockin a gs for four years. I spend all my money on my car lol.
As for the handle bars, i can make several of them for a few fellow gstwin pals. Ill prolly sell them for 30 bucks plus whatever shipping is to where you live.
Hows that sound?? :thumb: Closer pic of bars below

And da VRDUB!

Yea, I'll definitely take a set. Just let me know how and when you want me to pay for them. Thanks again, Catfish.
Ok sound good. All the details and specifics were just PM'ed to you.
I can make these for anyone that wants one. You can eather choose to have it painted textured, powder coated or unpainted raw steel. Paypal preferred. 30 bones.
Thanks 8)
how much does it lower it?
About 3 inches lower than stock. It also brings the grips in toward the center of the bike a bit. If feels much sportier and you don't get that weird look of sitting upright on the bike, all while still being comfy.
The only issue that ive had is that when you turn full left the horn button hits the tank and goes off haha. But thats because i made my really narrow. Ill be making everyone's a little wider so this isnt too much of a problem. This allows you to also cut a little off to make it narrower yourself if needed.
Hey man I know this is my first post and all but I'm from Dayton and I'm definitely interested in the bike! I noticed you were thinking about keeping it till spring time, if you decide to go that route please send me an email first. I want this... but just not right now, winter is a coming! lol!
I guess just keep me in mind is all im saying! If you get another offer from this post or your other ads then go for it! But if your gonna wait please let me know!
Thanks! :cheers:
You have a new email.
But im really trying to sell it now, or as soon a possible. I wana buy another bike to paint and work on over the winter and have it ready to ride for spring. So i need this gs500 out soon, but if i cant get it out before winter ill hold on to it untill spring.
So do you... ;)

Haha its STOCK!!! All i did was take the screen off, carefully remove the sticker on the back of it and then cleaned it. Then i just used regular plastic black spray paint and sprayed the BACK of it. I also taped off the front to avoid overspray. It looks killer, and cuz the front is still the clear plastic is looks oem.
Im suprized more people havent done this easy mod, cheap, easy and looks great. And you could virtually paint the screen any color you want.
Hope it helps
