Looks like they might be a little low for long rides haha, I put super bike bars on and they completely changed the way I sit a lot lower. At least it feels that way

I haven't bought the jet kit or pipe or filters yet so my options are still open

Stay with stock paper filter. They can be cleaned in gas and reused 3-4 times. Pipe is fine, so is slip on.
The K&N is hard on your engine ... it makes more wear.
Cool.

What....thats just crazy talk. So you mean (Insert: ridiculous amount of money here)  spend on ( (Insert: ridiculous mods) does not increase the value of of my bike 10 fold. Thats crazy talk, also since I did all the work my self and saved (Insert: ridiculous amount of money here) its worth more than its weight in gold.

lol

piece of advice for converting to naked, be sure your headlight wire is AWAY from the steering stem. When i converted mine to naked, i never realized that the wire was getting caught in the stem until it smashed the wire and caused the fuse to blow. I just used the original headlight and drilled holes in it so i could bolt it onto some brackets. My bike is the same year as yours btw, so just be careful about the wire. i ended up just repairing the wire and ziptied it to the wires above it. took me awhile to figure out  :technical:
2006 GS500f w/K&N drop in air filter, Carb rejetted 20/62.5/137.5, Fairing removed, stock headlight on forks. Clubman Handlebars.

Always use wire loom, with zip ties and tape. Never run bare wire on an vehicle, its just asking for trouble.

Still waiting for my headlight. Rob did you figure out where to put that horn yet?

robfriedenberger

That's the plan for today, got stuck working a crazy week. I've been thinking right below/above the oil cooler, I'm really trying to avoid drilling any holes in the frame.

This is what I did now I gotta order a new horn, due to a metal horn.
