Different GS500 Tail Sections

Can anyone point me in the direction of some different or modified tail sections? As much as I like to stock tail, I'd like to see some different choices. Currently the frame I have is cut from the battery box back so I'm thinking of completely fabricating a new tail. lopee's tail caught my eye. I love the design.


Are there any others out there?

everyone pretty much custom made their own tails. you can find kits but you'd still have to faabricate them to fit your application.

If this freshershest-thread-ever gets spoiled by petty fighting, I'm gonna be so mad.

Thanks for the addition. Don't even know how I could've forgotten that one.

I definitely didn't forget about your bike in my searching. The only reason I didn't throw it in there is because your bike is so far beyond a simple tail swap, that I figured it wasn't worth posting because no one's going to be able to look at your bike and say "I wish my bike looked more like that, I'm gonna find one of those tails on ebay and see what I can do with it". Now on the other hand, this reminds me about the other bike you posted that I was very interested in watching the progress on, but I never heard anything about it after that first picture. What happened to this bike?? It looked like it was definitely going in the right direction....

Click the link in my signature and you can see the Buell tail I put on my 1990 GS.

Love the Buell tail by the way. My bike would have an S1 tail on it if it wasn't actually Heather's.

haha, easy enough. I've been trying to fix it up, but it slows down progress when the bike is co-owned by someone with different tastes in motorcycle styles than you.
