Hello all

I am slowly learning how to protect my GS. The first thing I got for it was a cover for the winter. The next thing I want to protect is the tank.
When I bought my bike the tank had minor scratches below the fuel cap, now I want to get a tank pad.

Just wondering, does this tank pad work Gs's? I have an 08'.

or perhaps someone can lead me to a place that I can purchase a tank pad for the GS500

any advice would help!

Thanks

Most tank pads will work , its a personal styling choice nearly.

Check out the techspec grips.  They make side grips as well.  They don't make a model marketed towards the GS500, but the 2nd gen SV650 pads fit on the GS.
