Got this gs500e 2 months ago. I kinda made it into a rat bike, but soon got bored.



Before pics.







And after I had finished (mostly)

Sprayed up crashbars. Clipons (cafe racer for the win!), rear cowling, single headlight, bar mirrors,


Still needs a lot of work. Going to remove the top silver yoke, and then relocate the dash!

what do you reckon? Cheers.

Nice handlebar setup with bar ends! Makes the bike look tougher.

That is the most original headlight setup I've ever seen on the first 2 pics.

Where did you get the rear cowling?

seriously. It looks fantastic.

Hi guys cheers. It's just a vfr cowling, takes a fair bit of modifying though.
Yes the gasmask and twin headlight setup was pretty awesome! Drained a fair bit of power though unfortunately.

Thanks.

The guy in the background of the second pic...reminds me of the cover of Pink Floyd's "Delicate Sound of Thunder" album.

nice work! do you have any side view shots with the cowling on? I'm inspired

Your old headlight was really cool. In fact I like the old bars too except the euro risers ... swap em for the shorter risers and you'd have it made in the shade.
Cool.
Buddha.

I like the dual round headlight look. Why does everything have to be so expensive!!!!!!!!

how very strange, the review says it comes with a push fit clip attachment. Mines a D link double strap... Wonder if its aftermarket or something.
