Beautiful transformation. Kind of a 'Kenny Roberts' colour scheme Looks like those brakes would stop you pretty quick. Really nice.

I figured i would mention the mods that are on my bike. Mods are: YZF750SP front disk(moved over from left to right side).R6 calipper, Thundercat 600 brakecylinder, Laverda bars, Beston grips, Improved lube system for the cylinder head, TM 36 Mikuni Carb, FootPegs from Kedo, Front fork stabilazor, front forks were polished up, Scramblers from kedo, Supersound system from Japan, Koni rear shocks, classic mini-blinkers, Monoseat from 1997(old)Kedo or wunderlich, New paintjob in Yamaha racing yellow colours with locally made decals, wheels were painted and polished. Mechanically i replaced the chamshaft, chamchain and valve-rockers. Ive probally forgot something.. but its done..i think  (Probally not done when the winter comes..again)! Here is a link to my youtubeclip of my bike. If you type bikerdude73 in the youtube search field you will get my bike-clips. My SR 500 have a before and after clip as well. I still think there are some noises in my SR500 that im not sure is supposed to be there. But hey..its a 30 year old bike. I just figured replacing the engine parts would make it even smoother? What to do next with the bike im not sure of. The rear brake could need some upgrade to match my front brake. But then again its looking pretty good now i guess. The bike will proberbly spend the winter in my kitchen. I guess if i get some ideas i will try them out. |
