Since the Hyosung GT250R is basically a copy of the GS500 frame, has anyone tried the GT250R rearsets?

They look pretty awesome and are adjustable from the factory.

I haven't but I'm going to be looking for a set now!

Man that would look really nice on a GS500 haha. If you find anything out make sure to update this post!

We should all chip in and buy Adidas or someone a hyosung and let them check part compatibility.

Wow, that's kind of uncanny. From the photo, it looks like they might fit. The only way to know for sure is to measure out a set. Hole spacing is the first concern. Offset, and clearance is another. Angle is a third. But good chance, and the rearsets look like they might be cheap.

Another nice thing... Similar frame means there's a good chance the bodywork could be made to fit a GS.

sadly the body work is ugly as sin...

Body work looks fine to me! I like the rear fairings and seat

Oh yeah, don't get me wrong I would steal every piece from the tank back

You would just need to find a good tail and tank. The front end is what is ugly as sin.

I'm game. bring one on and I'll do it!

I looked on ebay and found the left and right side rear set adjustable mounts for $40 shipped

Weedahoe, maybe you can contact the seller and ask to measure between the bolt holes.

I can given it a shot.

When I have a little more time... I downloaded a couple of high-resolution photos of the bikes from the web. Can compare them using an image processing tool to determine if the hole spacing is similar, and what the Hyoshung rearsets would do to foot position if mounted on a GS500.

This is exciting to read. With my clubman bars my legs are really cramped up to the point I use the passenger pegs as they are more comfortable. Kudos for finding the possibility  Now let's get someone to make it work!

So, I went to a moto show today and I saw a gt250, A little ghetto measuring says that they should fit...

if frames are that similar.... possibly pull a front end swap from it? gains usd forks and twin disks... would be a much more cost effective swap if it would work...

It would be a good possible swap for the twin disc setup. But this isnt for me, I would want full adjustability for an upside down fork setup. The gt650 is the same bike with a bigger motor, I don't have the specs on hand but you think the forks may have some more adjustability in them? Food for thought.

Twin disks are over-rated, IMO. A second rotor adds a huge amount of un-sprung weight to the front wheel, and with the appropriate upgrades the single front rotor is more than capable of handling any kind of abuse.

I did a GSX-R front end swap on my GS500. I'm thinking of removing one of the rotors for race use.

and keep in mind, suspension components from a less then steller bike, are probably not really worth the hassle.  I say it time an again, either upgrade the stock stuff, or do a swap from a good donor bike where the actual components are an upgrade. 

Wouldn't bother with the 250R forks unless I saw what's inside them. They like to play up the fact that they are USD forks, but they don't really discuss valving or adjustments.

Keep in mind that with suspension, external adjustment's are actually one of the less important things to look at. The quality of the valving inside the forks is most critical.
