Thought you guys might be interested in our RG500 Spondon specials.
We commissioned Darren Lane to build these for us and as you can see he is making a cracking job of it...
Spec:
Spondon frame and swingarm
Spondon hand made aluminium tank
Suzuki RG500 engine built and tuned by Darren
Ohlins front suspension
White Power custom rear suspension
Brembo brakes
BST carbon wheels
Nova gearbox
Swarbrick pipes (fabricated by Darren)
Nova dry clutch
Koso clocks
RGV VJ22 bodywork with mods to lower front fairing sides
VJ22 M spec based one piece single seat unit
Billet yokes (as used on new Norton Café Racer)
Graphics supplied by James (Snittle on the rgv250 forum)
Paint by Steve (friend of Darren's - SchwantzC on the rgv250 forum)
loads of hand made components by Darren and also some very hard to find items sourced by Darren.
Thanks also due to Stuart at Spondon Engineering for supplying the frames and other components.
Not finished yet but will be very soon! |

Wow
That is absolute class, its enough to make a Kawasaki man want a Suzuki
I think its the third pic down that caught my eye, its the view every owner has when they walk behind their bike & suddenly realise why they love their bike
And you can never go wrong with lucky strike colours |

Big day yesterday! Just picked up these two works of art from master 2 stroke bike builder Darren Lane.
We are very happy with the results and are just looking forward to riding them now once M.O.T. and tax etc. are sorted.
The attention to detail is just exquisite. Happy Days!!
