Hey everyone. Excited to finally post something around here. One of the guys I live with was told by adidasguy about a deal on a GS500. It's a 1990 frame with a 2004 engine and trans w/ 3k miles. Took it by the bike cave and he could probably tell you more about it than I could now.

things I'd like to do:

Hard luggage
Paint ( The darker Suzuki blue?)
raise the rear end a little bit.
Flat handlebar.
Small faring (I like the look of the givi a750)

Welcome to the newest member of the West Seattle GS500 Club.
Always welcome at the bike cave.
I have a ride Sunday which makes Saturday a wrench day if you'd like to come by and get started. (I'll PM you about the ride.)

Welcome newest member of Seattle!  I think you took my crown!  Anyway, have fun and we will see ya around! 

The bike photographs very well!

Good to have you here......welcome

His "Welcome to the Club" gift was a billet fork brace.

I see you need a front fender mud flap, bar ends, right side cover, stainless chain guard, toe guard "shark fin", and.... hhmmmmm......  I wonder where we can find those.......

In the post to my place?

Thanks guys, excited to be here. Wrench time on Saturday at the cave, Sunday ride. Will try and get some pics up

welcome to the best motorcycle-specific community there is.


you might want to ride it a while before you put flat bars on it. those aren't very comfy compared to the stockers you have now.

interesting throttle cable routing- might want to re-route that so nothing can snag it and pin the throttle in a turn.

are the tires as old/hard as they look in the picture ?

oil cooler + 90 frame / nekkid = that looks coool !
