Late summer 2016 I "converted" my Suzuki GS500F to a naked bike (called GS500E/GS500 by some).
I did this while using the existing (OEM) headlight, instead of installing a brand new headlight like I have seen others do.
I didn't find anyone document this prosess in a video, so i thought why the heck not do it myself? Maybe someone will find these videos helpful one day!

Cool vid man, love the idea of keeping the original headlight, which I intended to do aswell. Really liked the mirrors too, really made it look like a street fighter.

@MrDrakenhoff 5 лет назад

Thanks man I appreciate it! Feel free to send me a pic over at IG if you go through with it. I'd love to see :D

@francocianfaglione5802 5 лет назад

After watching your before and after dude it looks nice. I’m probably gonna do that too. Thanks for the video mAn

@MrDrakenhoff 5 лет назад

Thanks for the comment man! I'd love to see the result if you end up doing it. Send me a picture over on Instagram ^^

@ericmarasco6809 3 года назад

What are those mounting brackets that you put the headlight on called? Can’t find anything like it anywhere

@540RabbitStuntz 7 лет назад

i would like to do the same with my 500f but in your video its hard to see exactly what your doing. all in all looks great and hope to do that with my existing headlight.

@MrDrakenhoff 7 лет назад

Kris Abbott With the timelapse-thingy its quite fast. I have three other videos explaining, more like a "step by step"-style. I'll put the link to the playlist in the description or you can find it on my channel :)

@willriseabove6858 2 года назад

Pretty neat though I was wondering how does making it naked affect handling? My plastics were pretty tore up so I took them off put a 95 gs500e headlight on and it looks nice but for soMe reason my turn signals stopped working and my nuetral light went out lol

@MrDrakenhoff 2 года назад

I’m sure that you’ll feel a bit more wind on your body when going naked, but i’m not sure id it handles any different to be honest. Definitely feels easier to maneuver though when you dont see that big fairing in front!

@willriseabove6858 2 года назад

@@MrDrakenhoff yeah I honestly thought the wind would be a deal breaker but it feels good and I’m sure the bikes loving the extra air flow. It does feel a bit different to handle to me anyways turns are sharper and it’s so light. Miss the look of the fairing but definitely performs better without them.

@erickfranco650 Год назад

So i tried keeping original headlight but it keeps wanting to point upwards. How do you keep it still?

@MrDrakenhoff Год назад

Unfortunately I don’t have a good answer for you. Maybe try putting something with more friction between?

@erickfranco650 Год назад

@@MrDrakenhoff thanks boss, I don’t think I could’ve done this project without your vid!

@tannerpuetz2438 4 года назад

Ik you sold the bike and this is really late but do you have those fairing brackets still or did you sell those too. If you have them I would buy them off you

@MrDrakenhoff 4 года назад

Tanner Puetz unfortunately I’ve already sold them. I wish you all the luck 🙌

@Jandejongjong 3 года назад

Super Cool;) For Easy riding the naked is so much more fun! Yo get more wind;) Just don’t go to fast

@MrDrakenhoff 3 года назад

Thanks mate, you ride safe too!

@Nevrost 3 года назад

Is It possible to install that headlight on the naked gs500 ?

@MrDrakenhoff 3 года назад

I would think it would be possible. Haven’t tried it though, so it might be a slightly different process

@JAYWRECK777 7 лет назад

Where did you buy those polished brackets to mount your headlight?

@MrDrakenhoff 7 лет назад

716Sneakerhead I bought them at biltema.no, a store that's only in Finland, Norway, Denmark and Sweden. But I'm sure they're available other places as well ;)

@andrewkillips4567 Год назад

Yo could I get all those parts

@plaguepartyy 5 лет назад

Wanna sell me the fairings? In all seriousness I'll buy them. I have a 2004 gs500f as well that was stripped and I would like to put it back together

@MrDrakenhoff 5 лет назад

Unfortunately I sold the fairings with the bike and are not in possession of them anymore 👍 thanks for watching

@outinspace420-4 6 лет назад

You still have your front headlight cowling your not using? I'll buy it off you?

@MrDrakenhoff 6 лет назад

Outinspace420 - unfortunately the bike and all of it's parts have been sold, so the bike now has a different owner, sorry mate! 😞

@adiemus36 7 лет назад

Hi, I`m considering doing the mod myself on my gs500f. Please ,tell me didnt the lamp mount lose it stiffnes after a while ? Just two bolts seems to be not enough.

@MrDrakenhoff 6 лет назад

I had no problem with just the two bolts as long as I had it. I only had the bike about a year like this (naked) before I sold it, so any longer period than that I wouldn't know. :)

@adiemus36 6 лет назад

Mr.Drakenhoff yeah, I changed my mind. All of the original parts like headlight and fairings are put in safe place :p it turns out that you can buy cheap and pretty decent lamp on ebay :p it looks kinda cool now just waiting for the spring. What bike are you looking for now?

@MrDrakenhoff 6 лет назад

no idea to be honest but another nakedbike for sure!

@@MrDrakenhoff im only wondering about the two Iron pieces that fixes the front and lateral ligts... Are they from a gs500?

@MrDrakenhoff 5 лет назад

@@CasperMdrd that are not. It's an universal headlight fork mount. Quite common on the internet, not so much in physical stores, at least here in Norway. ✌️
