Now that my bike is total-ished, I am trying to replace essentials first. i.e.

1) I found some 89-90 brake and clutch levers on Ebay but not sure if they will work on my '04. They aren't advertised as being able to. What other years or models match an 04 GS500 lever configuration?

2) Regarding turnsignals, the $17 MOTRAX ones at cyclegear--are these legit? Do they work on faired gs500's, are they kosher, anyone have any issues? Less visible if flush?

3) Also, Ebay's selection seems a bit limited at the moment, anybody have any good discount/wholesale supply stores they like to use? Am shopping for front/right cowling (yellow), exhaust, clutch and brake levers, front l/r turnsignals. Ill post in the parts forum if people are making selling noises.

Thanks
Kyle

1) They will work.
2) They will work. Personally, I don't like flushmounts because they are hard to see from essentially all angles. Not sure whether they are DOT approved or not. Also, most aftermarket (aka non-OEM) signals aren't very bright compared to stock.
3) Check www.oneidasuzuki.com
    eBay is your best bet though.

1. What alpha said
2. Doesn't really matter if they are brighter than stock flush mouts and not good in the front, mini stalks would look good tho.  But it's your bike.
3. Also try www.crotchrocket.com prices seemed very reasonable.

Even if the voices aren't real they have some good ideas.
