Title: Need parts for an 2008 gs500f
Post by: Kwestrider on August 29, 2012, 09:44:58 AM
Just bought this 2008 gs500f and I am having a hard time finding parts for it.  I would like to find aftermarket for all these parts.  Could anyone point me in the right direction.  All i can find is the consumable parts like brake pads, chains, and filters.  where is the good stuff like fairing kits, Bolt kits, and fender eliminators. Kinda surprised because its not that old.  Here is a list. Any help would be appreciated.

Both left and right engine covers
Both left and right fairings
Headlight cowl
Rear fairing
Fender eliminator
Full exhaust
Brake and clutch levers
Front master cylinder

ebay is your friend.
The WTB section here is your friend.
All parts are available.

We love pictures. Post pictures so we can see your ride. We don't care what it looks like - we live on pictures.
With what you need, it would seem pictures will get you lots of sympathy and better prices from members.

Um ok pics will be posted.  What about aftermarket parts?  Like fender eliminators. I hate that stock rear fender and tag bracket.  I got rid of it on my 03 r1 and i want to get rid of it on this bike.  How much do you want for the left and right engine covers and what color are they?  Since this bike is air cooled how practical is it to paint those covers?

Paint is OK.

You can re-paint engine covers - they're already painted!

Pix of the bike will help see what you need and what can easily be repaired.

I found 2 fender eliminators I bought from flea-ghey but don't plan on using so I'll get a pix of one. Have a complete undertail from Balu Racing
