Just for those that havent seen it yet here is a before and after shot of my GS since I bought it.

Much better Cods, good work! :thumb:
Cheers. There are a few more changes since these photos as well :thumb:
Will update when finished
Big difference! :cheers:
:bowdown: shazammin hot
gorgeous bike.
any thoughts of fender elimination?
Does it come with the girl :dunno_black:
Cause if not, then it's no good :flipoff:
It can't come with a girl until it has a stainless steel chain guard. Girls like shiny things.
What Adidasguy said. And why only pics from the Right-hand side?
Not chopping fender
It has Adidas chain guard already
Will update next photos with other side just for Jester :flipoff:
Does not come with the blonde :icon_sad: she's a friend

Haha :flipoff:
Most of my friends are girls. I have 1 or 2 male friends but an over abundance of female ones. Of course I say they are mine but they start out as my wifes and I just steal the good looking ones for myself :icon_twisted:

Cods, you need to post pictures of the Left Hand side of the bike.
That's the side with the chain on it...you know, non-exhaust side.
Still waiting. :icon_rolleyes:

Massive difference in sitting posture. Seems like way more upright to me than it was before (Felt like I was lying down on the tank before.)
I was seriously considering selling and buying a cruiser type but if this solves my issues I will can that idea and keep the GS. :thumb:
I havent ridden it yet because its 9.45pm at night and raining but will go out for test run as soon as the sun comes out.
Thinking of painting the frame black as well?
Any thoughts? :dunno_black:
Hi, very nice bike. The cowl is amazing, wich bike belongs?
A black frame would look better. That seat sure does look comfortable. The bike looks great with a fresh respray, not the color I would have chosen, but it's not my bike. I can't say that I approve of the anodized grips and levers. Red anodized always looks too pink in my opinion. Have you ridden it since raising the bars?
That seat is super comfy! Also it is an inch or two higher. That's the rare OEM gel seat. I remember we were "discussing" who should buy it. I had a few so he got it. I am now down to one. Just sold my last "spare" one to a member last week. I use the gel seat when on longer trips. I always have to readjust mirrors because it is 2" or 3" higher than the Gimbel seat.
How do you like the different bar clips?
Nice Cods, will be great if those fix your numb hands issue!
I say go the black frame... should work well :thumb:

Top Cowl is a universal from ebay and is designed to fit lots of bikes with round headlight.
Bottom cowl is from skidmarx and is made for the GS500

Black frame is a vast improvement! I want to do mine but laziness gets in the way.
Yea Im lazy as well :thumb: I had to force myself to pull the bike apart and just do it. Took a shite load of motivation I can tell you.
Black looks good. Then you COULD have used a 2004+ frame that is already black! (But that would mean changing lots of other things so never bind that suggestion - just jerking your chain.)
Nice work!

Thanks, I was actually going to buy a black frame from an Aussie member but decided it would be cheaper and easier just to paint my own :dunno_black:
damn codszilla,lvoe hte new look.
Man that change is awesome. Where did you get the belly pan and what windshield and headlight case did you use there?

Very nice! I may have to look into them. Thanks!
Spot on Cods! Looks the goods now :thumb:
Well I got a brand new tank to go on her now but it's black so I am gonna repaint her black instead of stuffing up a spotless tank.
Sent from my iPad
I will however use the red tank on the black GS and paint him red lol.
I know what you are thinking. Why not just put the new tank on the black GS and not bother painting anything?
Well because the red GS is better in every way so I will be keeping her and selling the rest.

UPDATE
new tank, new number plate lights, brighter headlights, etc
