Pablo's gs500 page

This is intended to be a gathering place of information I've come across on a couple of forums, some dedicated to the Suzuki GS500. I would like to especially thank everyone on the GSTwin.com forum for all their encouragment, guidance and knowledge. I found that the wealth of information there was being lost, buried and difficult to find, leading to many questions being asked again and again. I'm hoping this site will be a compilation of those "how-to's" and general information regarding the GS, including some mods of my own. Many of the mods here I haven't done (yet?) or don't plan to do but wanted everyone to have easy access to the information. Everything here has been done by someone so it's all possible.

Pablo-
