It seems a little market is developing between the old/new GW parts. People with chrome bits & pieces who prefer the black are offering to swap. Also, lots of "old" owners have swapped out the stock factory pipes with a new 2-into-1 system (including headers), and are selling their chrome ones for next to nothing.

I'm a little surprised that after-market parts companies haven't jumped on the GW bandwagon. A lot of these bikes have been sold, and once many owners have about 6-12 months of usage, they start looking for goodies to freshen up their bike. There still isn't a whole lot available (I'm talking quality parts), except in Japan, where the GW's (GSR in Japan) aftermarket parts' market is developing rapidly.
