Title: I might go back to stock 2008 GS500F. Any thoughts?
Post by: bud_44 on September 19, 2012, 03:40:05 PM
Hi everyone.  I put some risers on my 2008 GS500F.  Now I need a touring wind shield and might need a LIP on the new wind shield.  I might be better off just going back to the stock GS500F and not wasting the money.  Before I made any changes I had the bike up to 80 MPH with no problems.  I'll have to buy these things before I can do this again.  What do you folks think?  Ride safe.  Bud

Do what is MOST comfortable for the way YOU ride.  Remember why you added risers in the first place... Did that fix the problem? If it did and it's worth the new problem they created, then fix the new problem if you can weigh it out like that.

Get the riding position you like.....this is personal......I just went to lower bars, and so far I love them.

Later you can figure out windshields etc....

I have the taller Zero Gravity Sport Touring windshield on Suzi - I love it. About $70.
