Title: 2007 GS500F REAR FENDER REMOVAL + OTHER MODS
Post by: axh206 on August 10, 2015, 09:35:35 AM
Hey all, new to the forum and new to riding. Had my bike for about a month now, riding in Midwest Chicago. Bone stock, not looking for too many mods though.

Wondering if there is a good DIY for:

Rear fender removal
LED turn signals front and back (after fender removal)
LED brake light
new high/low beam
new exhaust (akra/yoshi)

Thanks for all your help and expertise!

welcome to the site!

i'm also from the Chicagoland area!

all the mods you mentioned are pretty easily done. If you have basic knowledge or mechanic skill you're good.

if not i'm always willing to lend a hand to fellow GS rider

@Big Rich - Thanks so much! I'll definitely find what I need on there, or at the very least how to get started on it.

@GS500Schultz - Thanks for the assistance to help! I'll definitely be reaching out

@ShowBizWolf - Thanks! I'll update all progress with pics (the upload folder on the website is apparently full so I can't upload any pics :( but mine looks exactly like this now, stock:

Can't wait to order the LED's and lights.

Speaking of, any recommendations for LED types for turn signals and brake light? I'll probably keep the front stalks but remove the rear. The integrated turn signals with the brake lights look pretty tempting...

Then the high and low beams...
