So heres a few pictures of before and after of the bike. Cant really see in the pictures but i changed the mirrors and the stock turn signals. I really think it helped with the look. Working on the undertail and my exhuast should be here in a few days. Also took a few pics at bike night last night here in St. Louis, about 40 bikes turned out. We go on a little ride then end at a restuarant called show me's. First ones a picture of the bike stock before i had done anything to it. Next was at the meet up point, so far I havent seen another gsx650f in the area. 3rd one is half way through the ride we stopped for a quick break. Then at show me's with my new lights on. the bike got a little attention.

Is law enforcement cool with a group parking in the roadway like that? Just saying, because they likely wouldn't be around here.
actually, there was a cop at the end handling traffic you just cant see him, we made sure he was out of the picture, cause yea by break i mean someone went down. thats why everyone was at the back.

WoW indeed! Thanks for sharing. Looks hot- the bike too. Any other mods on your list?
the list is 2 long, the next thing will be to get some frame sliders on it, and bunch of my buddies have been telling me to get it suspension tuned and dyno tuned. anyone ever done this on the gsx650f and know how much of a def it makes?

Last night I read a post in the forum that someone did the dyno but I have no idea how much. Someone else lowered theirs 3" or so. I'm told that sliders are a MUST and since I almost tumbled and dropped her for the first time the other day (Girl on a cell in an SUV cutting folks off in traffic) So I'm getting some as soon as I can. She's a heavy bike.

yea love those in cage's ... dont watch where there goin. I dont actually want to lower it im just told you should have yur suspension tuned for your weight and the kinda riding you do. i do alot of twisties out in mid mo and im a little heavier so its suppose to help with the handling. As our bikes are made for the generic rider 6'0 190 and more hwy use.

I ended up breaking the right turn signal (black electrical duct tape helps) I was gonna replace it with flush mounts anyway but at my own pace. slight scrape on the faring and muffler. I dunno how I flipped over the rear of the bike and tried to catch a 500lb bike with one hand. I just didn't want to be sandwiched in between two cars and an SUV. I'm about 6'1" 185 on an empty stomach. There's quite a bit of DIY info from the others on the forum. My local shop charges quite a bit for everything. I would just research all the pros and cons and see if the end result is worth any mod.
