I did a search and found that many of you have eliminated the blocky rear fender by simply cutting it down to size.  I am considering doing this but was wondering if any aftermarket companies make one of those rear fenders that wraps right around close to the rear tire for the GS.  Thanks.

that would be called a hugger.  there arent any made for the gs yet.  i think the aluzio kit comes with one, cant remember.  also i believe the bandit huggers can be modified to fit

If you trim your rear fender too much and ride in the rain with a passenger, he/she may get a wet streak up their backside.

I put my license plate and registration sticker pablo style to help make up for the lack of fender. My tail light gets a little dirty sometimes but that's it. Seems to stop above the tail light where it says suzuki. Check out the pic of my LED tail light to see what I'm talking about.

yea my passenger gets soaked all the time.

The price you have to pay to look good.

Yeah.  That stripe down your back looks great!  

I think one of the moderators on the UK site http://www.gs500e.co.uk/
had some huggers made and was selling them on the site but they were not cheep due to tooling up for a small number, they were seeing if demand was there for a larger run, check it out, who knows.

Who cares, it happened to us as a kid when we rode our little bikes.  If you are a good enough rider, you can dodge the rain!   :lol:
