Title: where are all these gs-500r's coming from?!
Post by: pantablo on November 04, 2003, 12:22:35 AM
from the last two pages of WoF. One black, one blue.

Same graphics scheme, different color. Same full fairing, same country. You see one and you think-resourceful rider. You see two and you think-factory option. At least I do!

What do the guys in Brazil have that we dont (fairings apparently) and how do we get them too!

btw-have I told you how much I hate AOL lately? I finally reinstalled it (had to use latest version 9.0) and have never had so many pop ups in my life. But back to the fairings...

Why exactly are you using AOL?  You ride a GS, obviously you are smarter than an AOL user. :mrgreen:

Yea they look great but the fairing doesn't have the stacked headlight it seems like the 2004 GS.

As far as you using AOL  :nana:   Sign up with Netzero and only pay 9.95/mo(forget the highspeed crap).  While you're at it make sure you put wheelieboy@netzero.net as the referral.  I use it at work and it is rock solid and I get great data rate.

Isn't that the kit that Rich500 is trying to import here?

I'll be in Brazil over Christmas, I'll keep my eyes open if I see one.

I like the fact that the first one is on a race stand in an empty shop all by itself. Notice on both of them the blanked-over port for the front turnsignal mounting on the fairing right above the "R".

is this a gsxr600 grafted onto a gs or a special, gs specific factory (or aftermarket) option?

I must know.

Yo Pablo,
That si in fact the kit that a friend of mine has started to produce in Brazil.
Currently we are trying to get a large enough order to make it viable to build and ship them to North America.
Check my Post for it. :cheers:

You speak Portuguise Pablo?  I got an email from the person who I suspect makes them.  If you want you can send him an email asking him for information :)

front kit only. Price is good, esp painted. I assume it comes complete with brackets and everything necessary to install?

and what's the UNofficial price?

It comes with all the brackets.
The unofficial price was $800 give or take. That was a couple weeks ago, when I the kit came to my knowledge :cheers:

oh, thought there was a 'special GStwin' price...Still keep me on the list. I'm most certainly interested. I assume they come prepainted to match standard colors? Standard USA colors? My 01 is a blue/green color (see WoF page 1 or my site), abyss blue is called.

The 2004's look like shaZam! IMO. A retarted dog could have thought up a more proportioned design.
The kit on the GS500R there looks a ton better. Better proportion, better style, just better.  :cheers:
Baby busa my ass. It looks like a Busa f%&ked a goldwing a got some ugly bastard child. Poor GS hiding under that hidious exterior. Poor poor thing...

I assume that those sweet fairings won't fit the earlier chassis.  Am I wrong?

i read in a post that only the front part of the kit would fit (if this is the same thing) but the back was only 01+

You are evry correct on that point 96gs. The front fits any year, the back fits 01 and on bikes. You know, the good looking GS's... just kidding :cheers:

I can back up John on the Netzero being a good deal. You can hook it up and try out the connection speed before you give them a cent. Then if you dig it and want get rid of the banner and pop up ads you only pay $10 a month. I had good connection speeds in Glendale and out at USC.

Now I get free DSL :mrgreen:

On second thought I think I'm only interested in the upper fairing/headlight, not the whole full fairing. What would that run me?

As a side note-Verizon DSL on its way!
