hmmm a dollar... ill think about that. I was thinking about selling it but after that picture I am not sure if I want to anymore.   :icon_question:

I thought I could just mount it on... turns out I needed some hardware so it went in the closet.

It's the same color as my '94 color purple. I recently bought an orange cowling just like it, but the hardware for it doesn't look like this fiche... http://www.bikebandit.com/1994-suzuki-gs500er/o/m6054#sch241721

It has a bar that attaches all the way around. If I had a picture, I'd show you. I always thought if it is the wrong bracket, I could alway make a couple that look like the ones in the fiche.

Close. I do have a black front fender and black headlight cowling. Don't have the 1989 tank, though. Part of what you like is on this early picture of Junior. Might make Phenix look like that other one since I have the parts (in storage right now) except the tank is 1999 black with silver. Like this red tank but in black.


DavisGs

That bracket does look pretty simple. Maybe ill try and get creative if I decide to mount it properly. I am going to see if I can locate the hardware, if not ill be paying a visit to my local hardware store. Maybe you can snap a pic for me, I would truly appreciate it.

Gimbel seat. They come primed. You paint as you wish. At the present time, I have their other seat on Junior. The one shown is now black (technically "Pearl Novelty Black") with red and silver stripe to match the tail and belly pan. This seat probably will go on Phenix.

PS: Their belly pan is closest to the OEM.
For a headlight cowling closest to OEM, there is Skidmarx in the UK.
