Got one from a 2001, sell to you for $80.00 + shipping. O0
Got it all ready, here is what you get, everything pictured on pg 354 of Clymer manual for 1989-2002 GS500. That's all associated with the swing arm. I'll even throw in a new drive chain guard, the one that wraps around the pivot point of the swing arm., also I'll throw in a brand new drive chain, it has less than20 miles on it, you just need to separate it and re-rivet the master. :thumb:
I've got an early ZX1000 swingarm I could hook ya up with if you want something thats built to accomodate an F2/F3 600 rear wheel to use up to a 180 rear tire.

whats involved wiht settign this up for the gs
Honestly, I havent had a GS in awhile, so I really dont know. I'm pretty sure you'd need to fab a bushing for the swingarm bolt, and I THINK thats it. If you need it, I'll measure and find out for you. I just want it gone so I can put the money toward my new .45 pistol.
if you can, find out for me. id prefer a stocker. HOWEVER this being a one-off project, anythign is doable provided it dont cost me too much lol. also let me knkow your price plus shipping
ty in advance

I'll let it go for $50 + shipping.
you'll probably need to either drill out the bolt holes on the frame, or make some bushings to accomodate for the swingarm bolt size,
Other than that, I THINK it'll bolt in. I can even include a ZX1000 shock for $25 if you want. It looks like the ZX shock would bolt into the GS frame pretty easily, or be ground easy.
For the rim you'd have to make some spacers, but those shouldnt be too expensive, especially if you've got your own machine shop.
