That's a nice bike on that posting  :D

Here is a link to the site http://www.superbikestore.com/gs500.htm

I am not the seller. I bought one from them and they asked permission to use pics of it installed on my bike. It is decent quality and not too hard to install. Mine was touching my exhaust so I used a dremel to trim it up. Also, the little nylon screws they give you to mount the center piece went MIA after a few trips, so I just used zip ties on them.

Says it fits all models.  The only thing I can imagine causing it not to fit would be the fairings?

Hi there,
The OEM Suzuki GS500 chin fairings are hard to find.
I finally bought one from someone here on the board last year, but that was without the brackets. I still haven't found brackets for it or made any yet, but that's a project for this summer.
It still sits in my basement. It's black and in gorgeous condition. I was lucky to find it.
The PowerBronze models on ebay do look nice and are available.
I found out that I can buy their mounting bracket set for $60 including shipping, but that's a bit steep.
Good luck,
Trwhouse

Yeah, I have it installed on my 06 F. Here are some pics I took for another guy showing the brackets. I took off the oil cooler brackets to install the pan.

Are those "brackets" exhaust clamps with a 45 degree piece bolted on also?

Yes sir. Was not too hard to install, just made sure everything was loose until I got into position. Taking the pan off is pretty simple.

You could buy the exhaust brackets at Autozone for about 2 bucks a pop (need 4) and buy some metal to drill and bend for about 3 bucks from Home Depot.  With some time invested, you could make these for about 12-15 bucks and they are selling them for $60?!?!?  Ouch, Trwlhouse, just make your own!

Thanks for the pics! Now I know what missing brackets I need for my belly pan. Idiot sold me mine without the brackets -_-
Whatever, I still got it for a killer price.
