I bought this front end for my GS500 when my old forks were bent, but I replaced one tube, never put it on and sold it. It has been modified to fit on a GS500 by the previous owner, and all you should need to put it on your bike is some new steering bearings.

Complete front end:
  -brakes (lines, master, stainless lines (plastic cover over stainless lines looks a little rough), rotors, calipers, pads)
  -.95 RaceTech springs
  -woodcraft clip ons
  -polished and deburred top triple
  -super beefy polished aluminum fork brace

$150+shipping OBO

Its in decent shape, see photos:

Fender



The rear part of the fender has a little crack in it. It appears the PO was planning on cutting the back of the fender. It's probably about an inch long.



Last I checked these things sold for a lot more money, but I just need it out of the garage. I need the room for DRZ400SM parts!  :woohoo:

Edit: Oh yeah, I live in SLC UT. Local pickup is free. I also have a (blown? - ran out of oil well before I got it) spare engine, free to whoever wants it!

Anyone? I paid $300 for it a few years ago, and that was a good deal! Does nobody do these swaps anymore?

Yeah, and I may end up going that route. For the sake of simplicity and to help out a gstwin member, I was hoping to sell the whole it in one go. It'd make a heck of a swap on a track bike

 I want it, but I think my wife may "accidentally" put a pillow over my face in my sleep if I buy anything else for my gs right now.  if you have it still next week let me know.

Bump and apology! I sorta forgot about this and had my email set to my old one so I never got any notifications. I have reset the email now, so I'm gonna be on top of this!

Anyways, for reference, the box is 12"x16"x36" and weighs 47 lbm. It is located at 84081. There is a good chance I can ship through my work, which should be MUCH cheaper shipping!

Gs500_Rugger

To clarify, is it still available? does it come with a wheel at all?
No more bikes :(

Oops, I get notifications of PMs but not of posts! Anyways, it is still available. It does not come with a wheel, but (as I understand it) the only difference between a Katana and GS500 wheel is that the GS500 wheel has a cover instead of a rotor. So you pop off the cover and bolt on the rotor.
