Title: Streetfighter Headlight : GS500F
Post by: GoateeChicken on October 20, 2009, 06:17:03 PM
Hey guys, I have been looking through a number of options for headlights lately, but haven't found one that looks absolutely amazing until last night.
This guy put the GS500F headlamp onto a GS500E model, and it looks gorgeous. I am wondering if anyone has ever done this mod?
Is it difficult/ hard to mount it on?
Thanks in advance!

Oh wait. Wrong way around. I misread and thought you wanted to convert your GS500F to a naked.

Yes, it's been done.

Can't find the thread, but it was within the past couple of months, I believe.

Wrong way around what?  :dunno_white:
Is there any write-up for it or anything?
It looks sweet, but difficult to mount.  :icon_mrgreen:

The plugs should be the same, all you'd have to do is make up a bracket to mount it, and clean up/hide the wiring harness that used to be inside the headlight bucket. You might have an easier time drilling holes into the top and bottom triple and bolting mounts onto those, based on the shape of the headlight.

You are correct, the plugs are the same. Mounting should be the only issue.

Quite a few people have done this mod, does anyone know if there is even a person still on this forum who has done it?
