|

Hello , I thought I would share my RG500 I brought off of Dave Howard who is a renound RG500 special builder . I actually got if off of him in September but as the weather has been so poor , I've only got to ride it for the second time yesterday , so I took a few pics.
Very brief spec
GSXR1000 front end
GSXR750 Calipers
Works Tokico disks ( sounds expensive ! )
Hagon rear shock
Braced/modded swingarm
GSXR1100 rear wheel
Works Suzuki chain
Billet shift sharf support plate fitted
Bigger custom rad
Figarolli Expansion chambers
RGV250 top fairing
I like it , as it is very very well put together , but it's not a polished show pony .I like the look of it with the bigger rear tyre , it looks 'right'. I sold the last RG500 I had as it was just too good and I was afraid to take it out or move it in the garage in case it got scratched. It does go like stink when you wind it up , and with 500cc it is also surprisingly torquey.

Hi Mike,
Welcome to DS - and thanks for posting up some shots of your RG500.... lovely bit of kit, and although I have a bit of a thing for "original", I really appreciate "nicely modded" too - and that that rear tyre is just right! _________________ Bikes: www.diffrentstrokers.com
