A couple other issues: One is the rear suspension. Is there a trick to reaching that adjuster ring?!
Next is the seat. The factory seat is ok , so far, but it does tend to push me towards the tank. Are there aftermarket seats for the '05 GS500F? I have had a hell of a time finding any. Are there any cushions (placed on top of the seat) that are worth while?
Another question is about the bars. I noticed my left hand and wrist getting sore (take it easy with the jokes!). After closer inspection, I noticed the bars are uneven, i.e. slightly bend. As it is a solid bar, how difficult are these to change/replace. Would I be able to just "hammer" it out?
Thanks!
