bro !!! i cant say how happy i am that you just left the camera on and went over all this stuff. you never know what someone might be watching the video for, what part they may be interested in. there is hundreds of vids similar, but the just skim over everything and so often you 're watching to check out one part, one section , and it gets missed. this is so informative . you're a legend @Engineering Chronicles: Uneducated

Hey up, thanks for the comment. Glad the video was helpful!

[@mattduncan5500]

Any chance you can tell me what size your seat is ? im trying to find same as you for my GS. any i see like this are 25cm wide. is that what you got ? (as the bars/frame is about 20-21 cm wide)

Hey man, good on you for documenting this. I'm looking forward to seeing this through to the end.

I just bought an '07 GS500F, 17,900km!! I wanted to find a naked model but they were all above 40,000kms... I figured with the help of youtube I could convert it to a style like this. I don't have a garage and don't own much tools yet but I'm excited to give it a crack! Are these scrambler seats spacious enough for a pillion?

[@engineeringchroniclesunedu5757]

You might just squeeze a pillion on the seat but I wouldn't recommend it, is a short seat. I think the GS500F comes with an oil cooler which is always a good thing!

[@becdaneq]

Could you put the link where you bought the seat? Thank you. Nice job. :-)

im building the 99 model myself at min vid also comming soon i replaced the air box with air pods way more space!

[@engineeringchroniclesunedu5757]

I might buy some air pods but worried about re-tuning the carbs..

[@fkingride.5500]

@@engineeringchroniclesunedu5757 mine runs fine with air pods aslong as I keep the baffle in the after market exhaust to create the rite amount of back pressure , small tick over adjustment and it ran fine pal

[@mattduncan5500]

Would anyone per chance know how wide the tail frame is ? or how wide this seat is ? I have a GS on the way, and i'm trying to but the right fit seat for it, hoping it will sit flush width-wise.

so stupid to cut the seat off
