Title: gs500r tail
Post by: dlighthill on July 21, 2009, 01:06:31 PM
i wasn't sure if anyone had seen these....
looks like a nice tail section, but maybe not worth $400

I like how it's $100 shipping, and the seller will ship within 20 days... Really? You'll get it out that quickly for only $100!

Actually if you read the description it states 4 to 6 weeks. Ha!

They're making it custom for you so that is why it takes so long. Not worth it to me when you can possibly get everything you need to make one for that price.

they arent making it custom for every order they are ordering it outta brazil every time someone orders one.  I found that kit over a yr ago online.

yeah, they look like sv650 seats. super easy to make that deal up i think. i guess the hardest part would be finding a mold or a table of offsets for a tail that really looked authentic unless you wanted to just make your own.

Josh is right...  I've seen that from Brazil.

If I had my GS and if I had $500 to burn, I'd rock it....

Except I hate gixxers.  Ugly mf'ers.

i don't know if i hate gixers, but i bought a gs....not a gixer. there's a difference in customizing your bike to make it your own, or customizing it look like some other bike that's already on the market.  :cookoo:

I bought the entire kit, its in the mail right now. If you look at the pictures of it, the kit looks like the ones from gsxr 750 or 600 but they custom make them andalter them to fit the GS If you look at the pics closely you can see a few of them have custom made bars that mount to your GS to change the mounting points. Any ways my bike was trashed in the accident and pretty much everything that was damaged came in the kit from the blinkers to the headlight and tail light. so the insurance paid me $2600 for damages and the kit cost me $1500, and I even got them to custom paint it for me in my colors and paint scheme I designed. They are also sending touch up paint just in case and enough extra to do my tank to match. pretty easy guys to work with but it has to come all the way from brazil...

To me, that kit makes the GS look like a gixxer. That's just my opinion.
