spray paint.

All tail mods require a good bit of modification. I'm guessing the easiest would be going from the old style plastics to the new ones. Should be the easiest because even though you will have to find a way to attach it, at least you know it was designed for the frame and should mostly fit.

well you dont get a custom looking bike of any brand without putting in the time to do the work of course unless you pay someone else to do it that is.  If you want to mod your tail on the gs and want it to be easy there is a company in bazil i beleave that makes a bolt on no mod needed just take yours off and bolt this bad boy on.  only catch is the tail is 400 bucks.  its not cheap but it is a tail mod that is EASY.  search around gs page youll find a link to the us company side of the brazilian one.  but then again thats for the 04+ gs and if your pic is your bike and you have a pre 01 bike you best bet would be a R1 tail light swap and leave the plastic alone. 04+ tail can be put on a few have done it but its not easy(well not easy if you do it the right way.) :thumb:

added.... you have 2 other options
1: buy a gs thats been modded already (thats a pretty easy one)
2: pay someone to do the mods you want for a crazy price(also an easy mod)
