I purchased a 2008 GS500F for $cheap. I'm converting it to a trail bike (GS500T?) for my 160 acre ranch. Don't be shocked -- it's successfully been done many times (do a google search). The first thing to go are the fairings. I'll offer them for free for the price of packaging and shipping -- I'll drop them off at a UPS store and you'll work (by phone) directly with that store regarding how you want them boxed and shipped. Shipping zip code is from 93041 (Port Hueneme, CA).
Everything is complete, including all hardware but I'll be keeping the turn signals and mirrors; also, the headlight bulb assembly does not have a quick-disconnect plug -- it is hard-wired to the electrical system. So instead of cutting the wires, I'll keep the bulb, so you'll get the front fairing headlight minus the bulb assembly.
The side fairings are white, the front is blue. All are in good condition but of course, are 13 years old.
I already have two street bikes, so the 500 is going off-road. Don't try to talk me out of it!
Ride safe,
Jeff

Hi Jeffrey,
Very nice of you to offer these up for the cost of shipping/packaging!
I'm very interested in the fairings. Could you tell me if the decals/stickers are still on the fairings or if there are any major cracks or scrapes? Especially around the turn signals since that it where they usually break.
If they have the decals and no cracks or major scratches I'm in. PM me to work out the shipping details.
There are no cracks and yes, all the decals are there.
If you give me your shipping address and a phone number, I'll take them to the UPS store here (93041) and get an estimate on boxing and shipping them to you. UPS will probably put them in 3-4 separate boxes.
I've attached a couple of photos.

I am very intrested in the fairings. Trying to get mine back to stock from being naked when I bought a it. If still available my zip code is 97303. Keizer, OR. I'll pm you my phone number.
Jeffrey, thanks for the extra info on the fairings. I sent you a forum Personal Message with my address and phone number.
Are these still available? Thanks!
