Post by: passive357 on May 04, 2004, 09:32:43 PM
hey people check out this address. copy and paste it in your address.

http://www.xtremepowersports.com/cgi-bin/mivavm?Merchant2/merchant.mvc+Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=XP&Category_Code=SuMoSpGs

there is a tank cover, some engine case guards, tank bags, tail bags, rear luggage rack, service rack, cover (full and half), small sport wind screen, sport fairings.

sometimes gs500 mods and accessories are tuff to find. they seem to have a few things that people on this forum have asked about. so i hope this helps.   :thumb:

Pay special attention to the items on the Tank Covers and Bolt-On Items (http://www.xtremepowersports.com/cgi-bin/mivavm?Merchant2/merchant.mvc+Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=XP&Category_Code=SuMoSpGsTa) page that don't have a model year mentioned in the description:

The Sport Screen and Engine Case Guards apparently fit ALL years up through 2003.

The Rear Rack - GS500 and GS500 Tank Cover will only fit 2001+ models.

Thanks, Kerry.  I had intended to buy that tank bra back when Andretti Motorsports carried it, but I put it off 'till winter... then once I started having to hug an icicle each morning, they quit carrying it.

!@# that stinks.  I was already dreaming about having that layer of neoprene between me and the tank come winter.  But I have a '92. Has anyone tried the neoprene cover on a pre-'01 tank?  Just how bad was the fit?  It still may be easier to nip-and-tuck than to sew one from fabric.

Title: parts
Post by: bball14 on May 05, 2004, 08:23:33 AM
Refer back to Kerry's post guys, a lot of these parts (like the tank bra) are not for use w/ yrs but the 2001-2002 (the tank is a little different).  Some of the parts will fit all years gs, just be careful about looking at what years they fit if you are thinking about ordering.

The description of the engine case guards says that it will only fit the 99-02 models

That's gotta be a typo.  I bet they meant 1989-2002.  I don't know of any engine frame changes throughout the production run of the GS.

Also, the description was probably written when the 2002 model was the latest one available.  As far as I know the 2003 model was was unchanged from its 2002 predecessor.  (I guess it's a moot point in the US, since they didn't sell the 2003 model here.)  I didn't include the 2004 model year because I'm pretty sure you can't use the case guards together with the new fairing.
