Looking good so far.  The only thing i'm not too keen on is the windscreen.  it looks out of place as it is.

I think it looks pretty good, exept that headlight fairing make the bike look like it's about to transform into a fighting robot.

So you pulled the fairings off; did you actually cut the part that you left or is that just the remains?

no I still have the faring in good conditon, I brought a second hand top faring which I then cut down.
If I sell the bike it will all go back to orginal.

I bought #3, will get some pics up when I install it sometime  http://cgi.ebay.com.au/LED-stop-taillight-and-numberplate-light-Universal-fit_W0QQitemZ330288623910QQihZ014QQcategoryZ35232QQtcZphotoQQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting

In the meanwhile, check out this pic of what I want my GS500F to look like, (thats not the colour of the one I have but similar)

- still have to photoshop the flushmounts in there
- another mod will be a red GSXR rear shock upgrade, raising the rear end and seat area a bit (from Budda, I'll get back to you soon buddy)
- change handle bars to more sporty that drop down
- TRS slip-on exhaust
- cooling fan for oil-cooler, manual switch
- any other suggestions?
Please comment on the rear light, want to know if it looks good, thanks

07 CBR125R is for sale (Toronto)! Amazing balanced bike, but just not enough power for me

well you might be all getting pretty cold over there but here its boiling hot, and plenty of summer storms.
this weekend I am going to put on a remus exchast which my mate has just sitting in his shed.
should sound heaps better. I have looked though the forum pages for rejet info and lunch box filter, and all has been a great help.
just waiting on nw front pegs...... after that its a rgv swing arm,,then I've got to spend some money on the car.
thanks again for everbodys help and interest.

Looks good - I'd ditch the GSX-R logo tho...just my opinion but nobody will buy a GS for a Gixxer... :cheers:

here is a youtube for the rear brake light.
yesterday put on new muffler...
sounds okay, but is to hot to work on the bike in the shed,
wait till it starts to cool down in the new year.
