There isn't one that will directly fit a GTS, unfortunately.
However, if you're up for a little bit of a project, there is one made for the GT. It would require also replacing a few plastic parts, but otherwise it would fit. I'm told you'd need to replace the rear plastic fender, and both bottom plastic farings below the cowls to get it to fit correctly (using all GT parts). The biggest problem I could see with doing that is if you have a white or red Super. The GT was availible in black, so that would be the only case in which you wouldn't have to paint the plastic parts. It also came in a limited edition Diamond White, but I don't think it's the same white that's on the Super, and I highly doubt you could order the parts already painted in that color. It might be an interesting look to have different colored pieces (although, probably not everybody's thing). I was thinking about doing this for my GTV, as I also really like the look of the GT clear tail lens. But if I do it, I won't bother unless I'm repainting the whole bike (matching the plastic part colors won't be a problem with my ivory, then). |

+1 on Clauss Studios! Actually I'd be interested in a clear GTS taillight too... maybe even two? That would be sweet!

I have to say I'm not a fan of clear lens covers for rear lights (including brake lights) or turn signals. In bright sunlight it's sometimes very hard to see whether they are on or off.
