Okay, this is a kit that a guy I know is building (production is pretty big) for the GS500. I want to know what you guys think, and if there is any intrest in this kit. Its absolutley stunning. This is what the GS500F should have looked like from the factory.

If we can get it for close to the difference between the price of an E and an F, I'd say it's a homer.
Very sharp.

It is painted and everything. it includes the fairings, front and rear, with the lights and everything. Its very reasonable.
It is made to fit naked GS's.

instead of paying 5 grand for a brand new fully faired gs we can pay 800 bucks and get one that looks better than an 04.

Is that a whole new tail or just undertail and lights? Also does he have it for the 89-2000 body style rears? If not how much for just the front section?

Yep, looks pretty trick. Put me down for one. Although now that the F is coming out does he really want to use the older gsxr style headlight?
what is included in the kit for $800?
I assume:
-Rear undertail
-taillight
-front upper/lower fairing
-headlight
-all mounting brackets
-unpainted
What happened to the luggage racks? They're gone since old taillight isnt there I suppose?
Do you need cliip ons (or Suburban bars) instead of handlebars?
Oh, so many questions.

Hey guys, I am getting all the info tomorrow evening. Its being sent to me.
I have to say, it does look amazing compared to the 04 GS. The fairing just look more proportioned. I think (even though I am selling my bike) Im getting one fitted on in a few weeks.
I will post all the information for you guys as soon as I get it. Like to the second!

okay, I want to know. if the price was about $800 give or take a bit, and it came with lots of good stuff (front fairing, rear end swap, lights etc, painted) how many people would actually consider buying it? I am trying to line up distribution, but it doesnt make sense to send set it all up, without knowing if there would actually be a demand.

well, if i had the money, i would probably buy it. But im poor (i just bought the gs) so i dont know if you want to count me or not :lol:. Now if i happen to "find" $800, then that would be VERY high on my list of things to get (as in #2, with progressive springs as #1).

Is the rear hugger included?
Can the pieces be bought separately? I like having a naked bike, but I would love to have that under tail and the hugger.

It looks impressive. I think the styling is better than the GS500F, the fairing seems a bit smaller and looks even more like a GSXR fairing. If the price is $800 and it's even painted for that price, this will be a winner.

That is NICE!! Almost makes me sad that I've already got a Gimbel fairing waiting for me at home... ALMOST. I wouldn't mind grabbing the undertail. Will we be able to buy parts individually? I.e. could I just buy the undertail, that is, if it will be made to fit a prev. gen (89-00)?

they did an amazing job on the kit, please keep us informed about the status... i would be really interested in the undertail and hugger.... they could maybe do something similar to what 2wheeljunkie.com did with their fairing kit for the SV650, you can buy the pieces individually or buy the complete kit and adjust prices accordingly, if you where to buy the pieces one at a time from 2wheeljunkie it would be more expensive than buying the complete kit all at once

Currently, it is being decided whether or not, the individual pieces of the kit can be sold. The price is in US $$.
Hopefully, I can tell you exactly what is included tonight. Im waiting on an email.
:cheers:
If there is sufficient intrest, the kits will available. WE just need a minimum number to ship them to the USA. (They are custom made at a shop in Brazil where my friend lives. He does all the fabrication).
They really do a impecable job. Its seamless.

Okay everyone!
I have some good news and some bad news...well realtivley.
The kit shown, is more expensive than originally though. Its is $1150.00 but includes front fairing, rear setup, lights, hardware, everything to make it perfect!
It comes in black, or Blue only. Or you can have it unpainted.
The rear will not fit the older models, but the front will for sure.
You can buy the kit in 2 pieces however.
The front set up is $850 US.
The rear set up is $250 which is still pretty good when concidering what you get.
When I was quoted $800 give or take earlier, he thought I meant just for the front. Im am truley sorry about the confusion! Its hard when translating from portugese to english. I amke mistakes :cry:
So, in closing, the lights are included, fairings, hugger, and the other goodies you see. I will post if I have to revise this at all.
Im still going to be translating into English, so other ammendments may follow!

I want one but i probably won't commit until i see some people actaully get one. I'm extremely skeptical about sending any random person on the internet that i don't know that large of a quatitiy of money.

Hey I am new to the site, but I PM'd you two weeks ago regarding my interest in the kit. Whats the status on the information? Is there enough interest to have your friend ship them? How many kits are needed to meet the import requirements? Any news would be appreciated.

Take me off the list for now. Cant spend that kind of money right now (saving for that speed four :bs: ) and I have lots of questions about installation and how the wires that reside in the headlight bucket now get handled...
Really though, its money and the fact that I recently dropped my bike again (3rd time, first 2 in first month I had bike) reminding me why I got a naked.
i'll make this a sticky for a while so you can get some orders together.

I'm with frost...Do they have a website? I'd really like to see more pics and some specs of the kit. I am new here(17) and am really considering a gs500 but the new design in my opinion really stinks compared to this custom kit. If I can get a link with info specs and more pics and such...I'd be glad to chip in next year around june or july. :guns: :o :thumb: :nana:

Im not trying to rain on this but the pics are photo chopped there is no way look at the way the picture is blur and the floor changes colors to much over all blur to be digital pic if its true and the are real they would be at the major cycle shows whoring there products... haven't seen them...
Just me being real because I got burned once before buying from people out side the US... They take your money and run... but if there true to the game then they could send one of us a full set up mind you we could all chip in and draw straws who gets it. Then you can find out if there on the up and up.. and if the guy that is suppost to get them does then he pays back all people in the venture... this way no body is out 800-1100? cus I know I can get another bike for that much and can't afford to waste that type of cash.
I want to beleive I do but Peter Pan is a fairy tail and this maybe too.

Doesn't sound like they mass produce this stuff.
Looks like excisting parts custom fitted. Maybe they could tell us what parts.

details would be good to have. IMO the factory should have included the -F 4-pot caliper from day one (or at least since say '96) and used the Bandit 400's 41mm forks for crying out loud from day one! I mean they already had the parts! And of course the bandit 400 rear wheel. the GS450 was a twin-shock so why they didn't just ditch the old GS tech and use Bandit pieces of exact same vintage is beyond me.
I gotta do something about my wheels some day. A little silver, a little red, mmmmm!

I'm going on record saying GStwin does not promote, endorse or support this company or the products. You are on your own. I am not involved with them nor do I know them.
I say this just in case a deal blows up in someone's face.

I ordered mine from them, and it was fine, but I guess its all up to your judgement. I also have the Phone #'s if anyone wants it.

Ok guys! I bought a front kit and the real is this: with hard work (it is very dificult to install), repainting (YES... the shipping simply ruined the paint job) and some more money this kit really worth it. BUT it's NOT perfect... Any touch will brake (reaaaaaaally brake) the fairing (too much fragile).
The price to brazilians for just the front set is about US$700... So the price you have is great!
It have some project flaws, however. And this is why you will spend some money... e.g. to cut about 1cm out from the left side of the fairing and never forget to put a thermal sheet all over it.
Guys, i am working on several mods to my bike and as soon as i can (about mar-01) will post a great number of photos with the bad and good things on this fairing, what you will need to do and how to do.
To me, here in Brazil, this kit is absolutely a must have. The price is really good compared to the GS price (US$6,500) and when compared to other then... (US$22,000 for a Hayabusa) this kit becomes mandatory.
To Pablo: most of the mods i am doing are inspired from your fantastic web site. Thank you man!!!

Aw, hearing that makes it all worthwhile. If I can keep just one person from riding with a fender...
Glad you were inspired as I was! Document the installation of the fairing, including pictures of how it arrived (how many peices, condition, etc).
