I just got my first GS500, it's a sweet little bike but the stock tail end is hideous! Any suggestions for a tail tidy that is an easy swap and doesn't break the bank? Thanks :thumb:

Check out the info here, it's pretty good :)
Thanks missk8t, I'm just getting into this forum. It seems like a lot of good info! :D
And search the forum for "fenderectomy".
Thanks Paulcet, it was a bit hard to locate the clear alternatives for my year, most of the links had expired...I searched around online last night. I've done a tail tidy on my DRZ and it was much different because it was a current body style and there are a lot of different options for lighting. So I just need to figure out which route I'm going and order! I really like the integrated look, very clean! :thumb:
Shameless plug for my recent post:

Some fabrication involved but it was fun and worth it.
good luck and post pics when you do it!
4strings,
Very nice, and creative! I'm not sure I'm ready to venture into something as complicated as this! I'm thinking that I may try to install the stock lighting from my DRZ (headlight and flashers) and go for the less expensive non-integrated tail light. I'm a big fan of taking photos of my projects, so I'll def share! If anyone else has recommendations of other integrated (other than clear alternatives) that are an easy fit for a 2000 GS500, please let me know. Thanks for the friendly welcome and info, BTW...this is great forum!
