It' actually not a color strip, paint or tape. I had to extend my kickstand 2" due to the gsxr shock. So I bought a red bicycle seat post, cut 2" off that, cut the kickstand, inserted a metal rod, insert the bike seat piece, the rest of the kickstand and JB welded it all together. Other members hav use bondo and sanded the extension down and repaint. I didn't want to get messy.
Also no new fairing, same fairing since the original build thread.
That is soo beautiful makes me want to cry! One day my bike will look that pretty if I can keep the neighbors from hitting the poor guy! One day though one day!
Did you say there was a place that did the carbon fiber and red S. I thought you did but can't remember!
This is my favorite bike. I would do the black and blue oh my oh my. I shouldn't have looked at this!

Quick release fairing levers, anodized red frame sliders up front, Suzuki emblem painted red, and the GS emblem blacked out on the side...
- Bob!
And the relocated license plate...
Right in front of my face and the last thing i noticed...
Go figure, lol :cookoo:
Love it!
- Bob!
added led tail light or blinker bar? with the anodized red quick release tabs for fairings..... Is that different mirrors also... I dont know my monitor is kinda dark... Can you do a close up of the label side of those mufflers?.. Im still trying to find some like that. gonna attempt to do a clean under seat exhaust.....

Heard on here that someone spun the head around 180 degrees so that the exhaust ports would be firing out the back. Not sure of all the work involved but i'd bet it was worth it in the end. I can't imagine a cleaner set-up than that...
- Bob!
OMG.. i had to do a double take to realize its a GS500...
damn!
so since part 1, you moved the license plate and changed the frame sliders. hmmm...what else? :-D
man, i wonder if i can just get the Aluizio GS500R tail in the US. where'd you get that top triple? i was thinking about clip-ons with a new top-triple, but wasn't sure what would fit.
this looks awesome! great job man.
cheers,

:bowdown: :bowdown: wow i think this is the coolest gs i've ever seen! i wanted to do a black/red color scheme but i'll never be able to do it justice now. no fair! AWESOME! but i have to say i'm a little bit jealous.
Alright here is a sound clip. It is in my closed garage. The camera sound capture does not do it justice. In real life it sounds just like a Buell. She idles perfectly at 850. The camera also picks up this loud ticking sound which you can hardly head in reality. :dunno_black:

To me this is the coolest GS 500 ever. One day I will build an exact copy or have one built except in BLACK and RED of course.

that's really sick too, but i'm partial to the sport look right now...really, i had pretty much what you did in mind for mine. only not as awesome i must admit.
Is that exhaust exiting under the gas tank? I would think you would have the potential to burn the shaZam! out of your self. that has to be double walled. and second thats gotta be loud as shitaki, right there in front of you... whew, I dont know which way to go on this one... Alot of nice work but I dont know if there was enough thought in the exhaust. I would have to say I like yours mo' betta than the other.
By the way how about the close up of that label, or do you at least know what ATV exhaust aluizo used that from? I need more info on at least where to start.

The triple is the original with custom cover. I have clipons. Both items came with the gs500R kit. I wish I knew how to make a mold out of CF. Then I could reproduce some of these kits for members.

Maybe you could use the techniques described here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_fKlDzemPY&feature=related
I know what's the same....
You still have not answered us as to who makes the mufflers or where you got them. Are you worried that we are all going to copy it? Wouldn't that be flattering?
Anyway. Still a very nive looking bike, sounds mean, and I would still like to know where you got the muff's and how much. I have been searching chinese ATV sites and still can find nothing. PLease give us a hint...
Thanks. :thumb:
sounds nice i noticed you dont have a clutch safety switch anymore.

Not hiding anything. :cookoo: I got them with the GS500R kit. Aluizio sent me an email asking whether I would be providing my own muffler for the under tail kit. I said no and whether he had any for sale. He shot me a pic of the atv carbon mufflers he had and I said I like them. That's all I know. They are atv mufflers. You might want to search for scooter mufflers too if that helps. Or save the picture of my muffler and email it Aluizio Motos and they probably could tell you what name brand or type it is.

I still do, bikes in neutral.
Here's a list of what has changed since the original build thread..
1. Yoshimura stickers on the pipes (I know, I know, I'm going to hell)
2. Painted GSXR spring red
3. relocated license plate
4. Vintage Suzuki T500 Tank Decal, Blacked out GS emblem
You can find them here with other cool decals, I got mine of ebay for a little cheaper.

5. Bicycle Quick Release Seat Clamps
I don't know how the F model owners check their oil with fairings but on the GS500R kit
you have to remove the whole lower fairing. With these quick release I can open the fairing
enough to check my oil. It's a PITA.
6. New anodized red front frame sliders..removed the rear frame sliders.
7. Extended kickstand with 2" pipe from bicycle seat post.
Yep I like Black Bikes!
hmmm my bike wont start in neutral or gear if i dont pull the clutch in to start it.

Gear yes, neutral with the clutch pulled..why..it's already neutral. In neutral it should bypass the kickstand and clutch switch.
you got me thinking so i just went out and tryed mine in neutral on the kickstand and nothing if i dont pull the clutch in. :dunno_black:
My clutch lever, regardless of gear, requires that it be pulled in before i can start the motor...

Strange. I must have done a mod that let's me do this in the past and just can't remember how I did it or the F's can't do this. I still have to pull the clutch to start the bike in any gear but in neutral I do not have to.
