Hello,
Just picked up my 2001 GS500. The bike is perfect except previous owner had a GPS or something mounted on handlebars which left a couple scratches. Anyone have bars laying around that they are not using?
Thanks
I would suggest taking them off and hitting them with a rattle can.
Thanks. The bars are chrome and I was hoping to keep bike original. I found that new bars are still for sale from some of the online parts places. Figured I would try here first in case anybody had some collecting dust :)
Sorry - didn't know chrome. Most I've seen are black.
No sorry needed. So many different bikes,so little time! :icon_mrgreen:
arent all bike stock black?
if so then keeping it original would mean painting them back black...
I am fairly sure that chrome is not stock on a gs500
OK, I called a couple places and they show 2001-2002 as same part # with chrome bars. So maybe 2003 up they went to black?
My 90 bars are black.
Apparently these bars are pretty close to the stock ones:

Just tried to post pic of bike. I will have to research forum to see how to do it,as it did not work. Found a number of pics of other 2001's like mine with chrome bars though.
Don't know if this will work.
Sorry about pic size. I will try and post smaller
My 2001 has stock chrome handlebars. I will be putting motocross bars on mine in the future and might have mine for sale. Although, I don't know if they are in better shape than yours........
