GS500 Suzuki Streetfighter Build

[pfriday2001]

Also, where did you put your license tag and did you put a different size front drive sprocket on it?

[pfriday2001]

What tail light did you use? And did you just paint the frame under the seat or did you transplant something back there? Really nice looking bike. I am about to start my build in a few weeks. Ride safe.

@pfriday2001 That is the tail light from a Kawasaki Z750, I just painted the rear part of the frame so it wouldn't rust since I cut on it. I left enough of the plastic fender to bolt the tag right onto. I went up to a 17T front sprocket (Bandit or Katana sprocket)

The bike looks as great as the music dos suck

I've seen a lot of terrible streetfighter mods to GS500s, but this one is the best one I've seen. Still classy, and you kept that front headlight- my favorite aesthetic part of the bike. Really nicely done.

@RenegadeUnicycle From Streetfightersbydesign website

I am thinking of buying a GS500E and streetfightering it, I like your exhaust, is that just the end can or that a full system? Also what is it? Cheers

[stoppedfor502]

@Bikerstanley Hello. That is a Two Bros can & midpipe from a Ninja 250. I cut

off the stock muffler and used a coupler to allow it to slip on.

[Bikerstanley]

@stoppedfor502 Ah cheers, I shall look into doing something like that, also, the bellypan, what is that from? That looks ace, deffo thinking of putting one of those on.

[stoppedfor502]

@Bikerstanley I ordered that from streetfightersbydesign website,

They make them custom for the GS500, takes about six weeks

around 150 dollars, but they are the best looking. Made in England

out of fiberglass not plastic.

[klancaster6495]

@stoppedfor502 Did you do any carb tuning, or did it run fine like that?

[stoppedfor502]

@klancaster6495 Yep, Larger jets & raised the needles with shims. A little trial & error to get it right.
