I'm in two minds about selling the bike but I would let it go for the right price. All the usual modifications and more but nothing is permanent... I could just as easily return the bike to 100% standard and sell all the bits separately - but I would rather let it go as a whole package with spares and all original parts (so please don't ask about splitting the bike up just yet!)

UPGRADES since January 2011

•   Koso RX-2N Digital Speedometer
•   Zero Gravity tinted Sports Touring Screen
•   K&N Lunchbox Air Filter (plus K&N Rocker Breather)
•   Screaming Demon slip-on Muffler
•   Carburetors re-jetted (20/65/145)
•   EBC Brake Pads (front & rear)
•   Brand new Brake Rotors (front & rear)
•   T-Rex Frame Sliders (no-cut)
•   Brand new battery (14th March)
•   2nd hand engine installed (20,000km old)
•   Full service (NGK plugs, Motul 10W40oil, Genuine Suzuki filters)
•   Valve clearances adjusted to spec (Genuine Suzuki new shims & gaskets used)
•   Ignition advance modification
•   Exhaust painted in VHT heatproof coating

A couple of minor fairing scratches and tank dents on left-side from garage accident (previous owner) but the bike HAS NOT been dropped. Starts first time - every time! Runs smoothly when cruising and has a significant power increase from the modifications. All original parts included in the sale

SPARE PARTS

•   Original complete engine (suspect noisy balance shaft)
•   Gauges (excellent condition)
•   Windscreen
•   Airbox and air filter
•   Muffler
•   Standard carburetor jets

Considering how much the bike was purchased for and how much I've spent (more than I care to admit), I think $5500 (neg.) is a fair starting point.

Bike located in Parramatta, Sydney - any tests welcome

Will post some nice pics when the sun comes out... but this is how is used to look earlier this year

Wow that was quick. What happened?

Considering a change Twisted... something bigger and possibly more powerful - with an inseam of 950mm, the GS500 is a little small for me.
The Kawasaki Versys seems to fit me a lot better (ready, aim,  )

Lol, no fair enough. I thought maybe the engine trouble you had turned you off them. I upgraded as well but I still kept my GS as it has been good to me. Good luck with the Versys and post some pics up if you ever get one. 

Far from it mate - the new engine is unreal! Especially with the K&N and rejet, she really sings!
Thats why I am in two minds about selling it... its a really nice bike!
