:nana: What sore of modifcations do you have on your gs500..
:shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:
maybe your like to share it :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
Cheers :P
Some of us posted this on a previous thread on this board.
Excuse me, that was the other board. I'll cut and paste it here to save some 1 finger typing. :lol:
I've added:
- GenMar risers - up and back a bit with the bars.
- NC Plexi 2 fairing
- Case guards with forward pegs - don't use them much, but great when you need to stretch the legs a bit on longer rides.
- Home-made luggage rack for tail bag.
- 70 liters of soft luggage for trips - tank, tail, and saddlebags.
- Progressive springs and radial tires.
My mods are all functional. Don't do anything just for appearance.
Also a 15T front sprocked I forgot last time. A senior moment again. :lol:
The only mod I have so far are BT45's front and rear, and a 125/135 PIAA Extreme White Bulb. The 105/115 MADE a difference, I have not yet been with the new ones on the road but just turning them on in the garage I saw how much brighter they are!
comparison of stock vs. PIAA 125/135
http://www.pbase.com/image/9340108
BT45 are better than the OE tyres. I also recommend fitting fork gaiters (those black plastic bellows type covers) over the fork legs. Real cheap to buy, and your fork seals will last 5 times longer. The seals can be a real pain to replace. They also look good in a weird retro kind of way, like a Bonneville or T-bird.
Targa quarter fairing and strobe lights are the biggest things I've done. My strobes still don't work like they're supposed to, I have to work on them more this season.
so far...
-gsxr rear shock
-progressive fork springs
-Monster headlight fairing
-fenderectomy (phase I)
-PIAA superwhite 80/80w (performs like 135/115w) bulb
-CBR passenger pegs swaped for stock front pegs
-bar-end mirrors
in the works (waiting for parts to arrive or time to do it)
-Suburban-Machinery handlebars
-Buell turn signals, front and rear (smaller and shorter)
-fenderectomy (phase II)
-CBR rearsets
-rear hugger
-gsxr600 rear passenger pegs and brackets (to replace the welded on stock ones)
in the distant future
-new, sticky rubber when crappy Bridgestone Exedra's need replacing
wish list
-yosh slip on/full exhaust
-air dam
no, really, that's it...
My mods so far..
1: Ground slots in the ignition plate (advancing it)
2: Installed a fairing (brand: unknown? was primer and the previous owner gave it to me with the bike) but it came out good :mrgreen:
3: polished up the aluminum bits (lots more to do...)
4: fabricated my own custom plexaglass windsheild (bent it over a kerosine heater)
5: Vance and hines exaust kit (this was on the bike when I got it..So all I can claim to have done was get it cleaned up and painted, but it needed it!
more to come..
Ohh hey while im here...was wondering somthing does anyone know of anyone who has bored or stroked there gs engine?? heard rumors..but thats all, could it be done? if not why not, why not?..if so let me know..not like I can afford it or anything just curiouse :lol:
2001 GS500
V&H Ignition Advancer
Third Eye Bar-end Mirrors
Fenderectomy
Rear brake brace and chain guard painted to match body work
Sylvania Silver Star headlight bulb (huge improvement over stock)
Cut out seat foam and replaced with memory foam
Added clock to the face of tachometer (cheap watch minus band double-sided taped in place)
Drilled rear of exhaust
V&H exhaust
K&N filter
Drag Bar
Bar End Mirrors

-1t on front sprocket
Coming in the next month:

Katana Clip-on conversion (not sure this is going to work - I'll keep you posted)
Coming farther in the future:
Progressive springs or GSXR Front End if the right deal pops up
4" rear wheel to comfortably hold fatter rubber
More stylish turn signals
What I'd do if I had too much time and money on my hands:
Powder coat frame/swingarm and wheels black and paint tank and bodywork satin black to match the frame and add some very subtle graphics
Custom fabricate or retrofit more attractive rear bodywork and tail light
Mods Done:
Fenderectomy
Katana rear shock
Third eye bar end mirror
(see my site for details)
Mods Coming soon:
Buell Blast fly screen
progressive fork springs
My bike came with a Targa 1/4 faring and a fenderectomy and the rear graphics peeled off. Not to mention missing the center stand.
I have since ruined the fairing (which I'm just going to ditch) and scraped it up pretty bad and dented the tank enough to chip it so I'm going to tear everything apart, prep and paint the whole shebang in flat black rustolium. Flat of course so it won't show my horrible prep job as bad ;)
Then put in the GSXR rear shock I have and get some stiffer front springs in. I'm toying with the idea of K&N filters and modifying the stock exhause and re-jetting for some more power.
I'm going to have do something about the instruments. Right now their kinda hanging by a thread. I'd love to drop in something from Dakota Digital but that's just silly considering the cost. And how would they convert a mechanical tach anyway?
I'll figure something out. Probably involving lots of electrical tape ;)
-Fenderectomy
-Lower handlebars
-Blinkers off my buddy's 2002 CBR-F4i
-Yellow paintjob
-Holes drilled in the back of the exhaust (for the sound)
I'm gonna put on 140 BT45 in the rear

J.C. Whitney has a nice set of chrome cased gauges that'll work with Suzukis. I'm not usually a fan of JCW, but I think this is what will be going on my bike in the near future to replace my damaged stock units

On Adelita's "mild" street bike:

Aluminum race subframe.
Carbon fiber SV650 tail modified to fit on the GS.
:D
-Drilled exhaust
-Shortened stalks, front and back
-All reflectors removed (looks a lot better, and I figure that by the time they see the side reflectors anyway it's already too late)
-Rear/Middle stickers removed
-MEZ2/Z4s back and front, respectively
-Frame sliders
Soon to come: lower faring, as soon as I can produce some $ ;)
Like gsJack, all of my "mods" have been functional-only. Must have something to do with being 40+....
* TourMaster 12-liter magnetic tank bag. It goes EVERYWHERE.
* National Cycle Plexistar 2 windshield, especially for blocking winter winds.
* FiveStars luggage racks with Kappa 40-liter hard bags for long trips.
* TourMaster 37(?)-liter soft tail bag for extra storage on some of those same trips.
* FiveStars 3-point-mount engine guards, for the NEXT time I hit a cow....
* Homespun wiring job to connect a cigarette lighter adaptor. For recharging my cell phone and camera/headlamp NiMH batteries on the aforementioned trips.
* Homespun "throttle retainer" (bolt, wingnut, metal/fiber/rubber washers). VERY handy when I need to stretch, or do other sundry tasks that require the right hand for a moment. Takes about one minute to revert to stock at the end of a long trip.
* Targa tank bra, to keep my legs insulated from the cold tank (winter only).
* Suzuki gel seat. Only logs miles when the wife comes along on the back. I prefer the stock seat, even for long trips.
Sorry -- that TourMaster tailbag holds 17 liters, not 37. (That would be one BIG tailbag...!) I just received a new Chapparral Motorsports catalog in the mail today, and they're still selling a look-alike Ocelot bag for significantly less ($39.97) than the TourMaster ($53.99).

Good to know. Do you remember what year yzf that was for?
From 1996 onwards. The Thundercat model. I forgot that in USA the FZR600R model in Europe was already called YZF-R.
Just to add something for the installing of the slip on. It needed thinking on where to cut the stock exhaust and then I used some extension (2 cm) to create some extra space for the foot of the pillion. I bought it ready, a stainless steel jacket hanger (3 euros from a shop selling home stuff). Then I needed to create some extra connection from the slip on's connection pipe to the stock pipe having an angle of about 30 degrees and 2-3 cm length. Easy to make in many machine shops. The ground clearance it's still very good on right turns even though the system is more out than the stock exhaust (about 3 cm). The performance is Great and the sound perfect (loud and Ducati like). It doesn't bather on the motorway but for some people might be too loud at lower speeds and in the city especially with the air restrictor off from the K&N.

Hi Bubba did you get your shock from icon I noticed they were selling shocks for GPZ 600 a few months ago and I thought that they may fit the GS.
Also I think with the mods your doing your stepping on my feet for soon to be best GS is Aust I need to catch up I've got the suspension but with a genuine made for GS Koni shock, the fork springs, rack, fenderectamy, Accessory plug, and Jardine full exhaust system (coming next week) Air filter ( to be done with rejet and dyno tune).
Looks like I need clip ons, rearsets, indicators and tail light to catch up, thankfully for both of us there aren't to many modded GS's getting around in OZ and well we cant hold a candle to some of the other mods from overseas :thumb: :cheers:

The shock is from progressive suspension. $150 for a Koni with progressive spring, preload & rebound adjustment was ok I reckon. I'm going to increase the bolt hole dia for the top mount but thats not a big problem. I went and picked up my Racetech front springs at lunch. Hopefully I'll get it all put in this weekend.
After my last big ride I had to do something about the suspension, so either I spent a some money on this bike or got a new bike, the missus insisted that I fix this bike up. :thumb:
Got any pics of your bike lukewarm??

Nick wants to bling his bike, because that's what sportbiking is about in Florida. It's just instead of chrome you use LEDs.
Somethin' like this, Nick?

I don't ride an FZ1. And take a look through your other topics you've posted about LED kits for all the information you want. There was plenty in there.
This guy used a strip of LEDs in the engine bay, a strip under the tail, a strip in the bellypan for the headers, and a strip in the fairing for the lights. The bike is turned off with the exception of the LEDs.
