Default Performance and Accessories ???

I was wondering where I may be able to get a few things for my GS500F. It would be just a few things nothing to crazy.
-exhaust
-front turn signals if they have flush mount
-maybe some cf mirrors
-intake

if not no biggy

I scanned a few things over on GStwin. Ill check it out more when I am not so tired. Any input would be great

Thank You, Shawn

Fork springs. Progressive or Racetech. Very easy to do. Rear shock. Katana shocks can be had for cheap on e-bay. After those mods as much seat time as you can get.

Oni brings up an awesome point.


nothing will make the bike feel and perform better than some much needed suspension upgrades. Total package around 200 bucks if you do it all yourself (Katana Rear Shock on eBay $30-$70) (Progressive Fronts ($89.00 from MAWonline)

Awesome guys thanks for the input I thought of one other thing. My buddy Dan had bought some frame sliders for his new 636 Ninja(super sweet). Since I am still new to riding he suggested that I could remove the lower fairings so I don't damage them in the event that I lay it down. I thought that frame sliders would be a nice investment if they are bolt on or universal. Just wondering if anyone has them on their bike (GS500F). Suspension upgrades for sure. In the meantime Ill work on getting more seat time :-)

check the link I gave you.

It magically has that info... as well as the fact that there are no frame sliders that would be effective for the GS500F


and use SudCo not Dynojet. Dynojet is a rip off. you'll pay 90 bucks for a kit when you can buy the stuff for 40 bucks.
