maybe it looks bad ass/custom because of the backwards mounted front tire?
inoperable brakes?
missing shifter?
missing chain?
incredibly uncomfortable seat angle?
red necked sub frame?
red necked tag ( lol hanging off exhaust pipe?)?
or any of the other 20 missing maintenance items like greasing the wheel bearings ... stem bearings.... swing arm pivots..... you know, stuff that takes more time and knowledge than a can of flat black.

YES! This has gotta to be a project that's not completed. Everything is half azz done. That subframe doesn't follow any type of lines compare to the frame. It reminds me of the ruckus scooter.

I keep seeing that bike on the local CL too, I was thinking of picking it up just for the tank and the black rims..

touche, or whatever that frenchie thing is that means "ya got me!"

Done correctly, I love a bike styled short and tall (Streetfiighter, or whatever they would call it from the faxtory)

A gs with a SSSA, nicely hidden wires, cleaned up front end, debadged, with a ducati style trellis subframe and USD cbr1k forks would be badass.

Now, go build it, somebody.

So I saw this gs500 on craigslist, and I thought, "man, why does that bike look so much more badass than my gs500?" 





At first I thought, it's gotta be the chopped rear, but then again, there's lots of chopped rear bikes that don't look that good, so it couldn't be that.

Then I noticed that the front forks were dropped a bit, and the front fender was removed (both things that I have thought about doing before, because I thing it just looks better).

But after comparing it to this picture, I'm convinced that the main reason the bike looks more badass is that the front turn signals have been removed.




So, in a roundabout way, I guess my question is, who has removed their front turn signals, and what, if anything, did you replace them with.  Pics are always helpful, too.

This Fuglieeee a$$ mofo is in der honk territory.
Cool.
buddha.
