Thanks for the note about addidasguy. Sounds like a genuine, helpful person.

I also posted this because I've noticed that the GS500 prices have dropped like a rock. All the new and more exciting entry level bikes have made the already aged GS500 very old hat. It appears it's still a really good bike despite the 30+ year old engine design. With all the variants of the engine over the years, selecting choice pieces could result in a nicely efficient freeway bike with decent power, as well as very cheap to buy and own.
