Hello All. Every since the old Thumper Page forum folded (it reverted back to the old style forum due to continued hacking) I have been searching for another to go to. I ended up creating my own at Yahoo Groups autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/YamahaSR500CafeRacers/ and have over 130+ members there. But in the endless quest for more info on SR's, I came across this one. Looks like this place has more activity than my Yahoo group but, that's a good thing. At just a quick glance, I have seen a couple familiar names (StewRoss, Trouthunter). I have been riding bikes since 1978. Had a bit of a hiatus during the '90's with SCCA race cars and have come back to bikes in the last 4-5 years. I have 3 bikes at the moment. A heavily modded '78 SR500, a 1981 Suzuki GN400 WERA vintage racer, and a 1986 Yamaha FZ600 in process of restoration. Just thought I'd join up here to share in the wealth (of knowledge) that comes in a open forum and in the spirit of the internet's original intention.

WELCOME TO THE SR500 FORUM!Looking forward to hearing about your modded SR as well as your other bikes. I bought a brand new FZ600 in early '86. I remember it fondly. Give us a plug on your forum as well. Looking forward to talking to you soon, G Man

Hi, Welcome to the forum mate... I have recently started going back to the Yahoo one myself...somehow I lost the ability to go there...OK now though. It's a great site. SR Thanks for the welcome Not sure what happened there. I saw where you had registered 3 different times. Right now, I would like to find a way to make the photos and info files I have there more accessible to the guys here. I am working on a couple options.

I'm really close to finishing my TTGSZXGSXSR500 done ;D I think I'm gonna dump the dual disc in front in favor of a 320mm single. I should be able to find some 2002 GSXR1000 front discs on ebay that are 320 and will bolt up to the GS500 wheel. The sad part is that I have a pair of 320mm discs already from a Ducati that I am pretty sure will fit the Yamaha bolt pattern. All I really need to do is mount the seat and horn and change the batt.
