Clutch Lever

Mirrors

(I only post the mirrors because if you go naked, you'll have to add the bar mounted mirrors instead of the fairing mounted mirrors)

Different Style Mirrors

Forks

look out though, those forks are in the UK, so shipping could be expensive, make sure to email the seller.. you'd probably be better off looking for a pair here in the US unless you get a crazy deal on those

Headlight for going naked

But I believe you still need to get the brackets that hook to the forks.. probably get them from a dealer or online for fairly cheap)

Fork Oil Seals

I mention those because if you buy used forks, you'll want to replace the seals, since you don't know how old they are

Cheaper clutch lever

Didn't see any of the peg assemblies.. again, PM 505 for that, since he's got 2 parts bikes, and the parts haven't changed over the years.

Hang out there, we may flame, but we don't hate.

My attitude is in serious need of readjustment, and I'm ok with that.

The part that are for the rider are called "Rear Sets" and the passenger's foot rest is called the "Pillion Peg" or "Passenger Peg"

I suppose theoretically, you could just replace the upper tubes... but you'll probably only find them in sets. I believe there's a set on ebay right now.. also, trwhouse has a pair for sale for $75, they're straight, but have a knick which means you have to replace fork seals ($11) every year. You could try PMing him. Or was it scottPAGs? I don't remember.. one of those two...

I'll search ebay for ya and post what I find

Hi there,

Yes, that was me who has the complete fork legs which have a nick in one tube.
I still have them for sale, for $75 plus shipping.
Let me know.

Thanks,

Hi again,
Where do you live?
I'm in PA.

Sorry to hear about your get-off, mach1, and I'm glad you got off lightly. The MSF course will help you to learn to deal with emergency situations like this one (people who run from accidents deserve a special place in prison with Bubba). You'll run into situations like this probably on a daily basis, and you'll start reacting to them more automatically.

Theads such as this one with all the helpful advice and offers of help show all the things I really like about GSTwin.  :thumb:

Hey Mach1,

I will check out shipping by tomorrow.
Here is more infor from a previous post I did about the forks:

I do have a set of forks that I could sell you. They are straight and uncrashed, but one of the tubes has a nick (caused by careless fork seal extraction the first time I did it --- UGH!) that causes the seal to leak every year.
I have wet-sanded the nick and cleaned it up as best as possible, but I got tired of having to replace the seal every year.
Eventually, I found a set of forks with good inner tubes and kept the old set of forks as spares.
They don't have springs because I kept the Progressive fork springs and put them into my new fork legs.
You can buy a set of Progressives and pop them in or reuse your original OEM springs, but I'd highly recommend you go withe the Progressives. They work really well, though some people like the straight rate springs from other companies.
If you want these forks, I'd sell them for $75 plus shipping.
Like I say, they are not perfect but they are usable and will be fine as long as you are OK with replacing the fork seal each year.
All parts are included except for the springs and spring spacers.
I resorted to leaving the leaking seal alone each year and just draining and refilling the fork legs annually. That solved the problem a lot easier than replacing the seal evefry year, while keeping the fork fluid at the correct level.
If you can live with that, these would work fine.

Yours,
Todd
