I see Pyramid is UK company, they sell for GS500 there, other suzukis here. ANyone know where to find one for my GS500F? Google didnt help me. I assume shipping from UK is prohibitive.
You're trying to make your fender longer? That's a new one!

Rather than assuming, since the pyramid plastics site does (say they) ship to the US, why don't you order one and see what the price and shipping come to? Presumably you can get as far as seeing what the price is without actually paying it, but I'm not going to bother registering on their website for a price quote on an item I don't even want. They are starting ~$10 cheaper (at the present exchange rate) than the US site before shipping, so it couldn't hurt to check.

On the other hand, given a lack of pictures of the specific item, and the fact that what they sell is (for the pictures they do show on other bikes) pretty much exactly what's already stock on the GS front fender (the little black plastic extension) I don't quite see the point, even though I personally am looking at a front (& rear) fender with (much) more coverage than stock to keep the rain & dirt off better. I guess theirs might be longer, but it's a lot of money for a little hunk of plastic, IMHO.
GS doesn't have fenda extender as stock in UK, don't know in US. Microfische doesn't show or have parts number for fenda extender.

that's what a fender extenda does, cheaper too :icon_exclaim:
My 97 GS had a front fender extender but my 02 GS does not. No reason why the early model stock fender extenders won't fit the newer F models, just drill a couple holes. The little oem bolts hit the tire on one of my oversize 110/80 fronts on the 97. Just had to turn bolts around with button head inside to clear. Only $17.87 from Mr Cycles, Suzuki calls it a mud flap. Does reduce the amount of crap that packs on the front of the engine around the oil filter cover.

21.24 British Pounds is 33.17 USD, this afternoon.
The price was 16.99 GBP plus 4.25 GBP shipping.
These are nice, they look OEM and help keep dirt off engine.
