Here is the 1994 GS500 I picked up over the weekend. Finally got done replacing parts and sprucing it up a bit. Not bad for a total cost of $1200 adding in the replacement/upgrade parts. Just a tick under 4400 miles on him. All ready for the backwoods......

I used a heat gun and Goo Gone. Just have to be careful as the paint is really thin and the Goo Gone will soften it up a bit. The GS500 decals I got off eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/300713304378?var=600045184387&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
The bike had been laid down of both sides before but at stand stills. Some scratches here and there but nothing major. You can tell this has been garaged most of it's life. With only having 4400 miles on it does show.
Nice bike! Why'd you remove the chain guard though?
Will never be 2-up and aesthetic reasons. I don't need a piece of plastic to remind me to keep hands and feet out of there-lol. It's always one of the first things to go.

because he hasn't ordered the stainless steel one yet?
Chain guard? I don't need no stinkin' chain guard! I'm not doing too much to this bike as it is really for my wife to learn on and tag along with me on joy rides. I will use it the rest of this season to do some backwoods bombing on Sundays as I am pushing the Sportster into doing things it ain't supposed to be doing on our Assfault Junkie group rides. Gonna be a GSXR750 for myself over the winter for next season for track days and Sundays.
That's OK.
But they do look better than the plastic. anyway, I'm shipping the last one today. No more until I get another batch made.

Yup, that's why the plastic piece is no longer on the scoot.
