my GL Fighter/ Cafe
I thought you guys would be interested to see what i have done to my bike so far.
Here is a thread about it from another forum, there are some parts of the transformation that are not shown, but you see the result.

Re: my GL Fighter/ Cafe
I love what you did to the bike man. Who knew that a gl500 could look that good. I have been keeping an eye on your thread on the custom fighters page for some time now. I have to know, where did you place your battery and all the wiring? I have been having trouble making my gl500 open in the battery/airbox area.
Thank you

Looks good. What did you use for turn signals and tail lights?

Re: my GL Fighter/ Cafe
well, the wiring is tucked into that black box underneath the seat, and i replaced the battery with a smaller AGM type sealed battery and mounted it in the tail.
the front has Ebay short stalk signals, the rear has only brake lights for now. 2 6led modules from oznium.com
soon will come 2 more modules for turn signals. yellow this time.

Nice job, I like it. A mono shock from a dirtbike would look really cool. I don't know if it would improve or hurt the handling/ride.
