Lowered light and instruments
I never thought the GB500 looked just quite right from the front... All the right elements were there but they just didn't seem to come together properly. The headlight is maybe a bit too big a...

The GB came with the original chain and sprockets when I bought it. The sprockets were in ok shape but the chain was 24 years old and had close to 10000 miles on it so I decided to change it out. It w...

LSL Bar-end mirrors
I thought these were a good deal for $120.00... nice machined aluminum, sturdy fittings, quality fasteners. The package finally turned up and it only contained one mirror. There was no mistake... they...

Brake Upgrade
This is something I've done on almost every motorcycle I've owned: braided stainless brake lines. It's a cheap upgrade that's easy to install, gives a noticeable improvement in braking feel, and looks...

Flat Slide carb
I got tired of pissing around with the round slide carb that came installed on the GB. It wasn't jetted properly, it didn't have the right cables, and it wasn't the right setup for this engine. I stil...

Reconfigured Controls
I bought a 41mm Mikuni flat slide carb kit which has a plunger choke right on the carb. That meant the cable choke and its handlebar mounted lever had to go. I picked up a salvage CBR1100XX switch blo...

New Clutch Springs

Shorai Battery
