Title: 1998 GS500E
Post by: Trogonilo on September 11, 2020, 05:43:37 PM
Just bought a really (REALLY) shitty GS.
It's previous owner was probably on crack when he tried to "customize" it.
Later it went to another guy who gave up on trying to save it.
Tomorrow I'll pick it up and post photos here.
I'm actually amazed on how people could f%$k up this bike so badly.
Wish me luck!

Welcome to the forum!

Always gotta wonder why people do what they do  :cookoo: :roll:

Can't wait for pics and I'm very happy that GS found a good home finally. Good luck has been wished! :cheers:

PS... I've got a '98 too :icon_mrgreen:
Please tell me yours is a black one and not an Aztec Orange one !! (The orange is pretty rare and I hate seeing them get destroyed).

Use the BBcode "med linked" from the drop down menu on free image. Those links work on this forum.
