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.

Back when I redone mine, I took the rear plastics off and cut any tabs off the frame besides the rear footpegs( still had to ride my GF lol) then I put them back on, with a sharpie I marked alomg the inside right at the frame. Removed the tail again then trimmed down plastics to the line. Smoothed it all out and man it cleaned up the whole rear and FOR FREE! Stock they come down real low into the angle. I wanted the rear to be more sleek. And the headlight was busted, I bought 2 high powered "fog lights" or driving lights from the parts store, made a bracket that mounted to the stock headlight bucket then mounted up the twin headlights. Got a set of straight bars of Ebay for like 20$, along with some bar end mirriors and stubby turn signals. The stock ones look goofy AF. Lastly the tank was junk from it being wrecked so I got a tank from a later bike. Earlier ones like this had the seat go up the tank. Later models had the seat stop right at the tank like on the GSXRs. I took my stock seat, pulled the leather off the front, cut it down and shaped the foam then folded the leather back over and restapled it together. Looked just like a newer seat. All in all I spent about 150$ and the new gas tank was like 100$ lol it actually looked realy good. Too bad it was still a slow bike. Great for a starter bike or a smaller person tho. I just needed something bigger

Basicly it started with my step dad taking the bike in on a trade when I was like 15, it set in our basement and never ran. I wanted to ride it SO bad but nope.. Anyway I turn 18, get my motorcycle Licence, am prepared to pay my stepdad 1000$ for it. He sells it to his nephew instead so I don't wreck it... Right LOL. Long story short less then 6 months later he wrecked it, went and bought it off him for 500$ and then modded it. When I brought it back to show my Stepdad he literally didn't even recognize it as the same bike. To me that was a win. Definatly a good starter bike to ride and mod both. They are just so damn goofy looking stock its not that hard to improve the looks. Mine looked a lot like this one, wish I still had pics of it.

You can shorten it some & leave it open. I took a piece of fiber 3M pad and pushed it in the tube to act like a dust filter, but it will still allow pressure and an occasional drop of oil out of the hose.
