Welcome to the site Drag_Addict. Very nice bike you have there. Manky says is it an XS500 or SR500 Single? Any chance you can put fingers to keyboard and send some pictures with a write up? Manky is always looking for more bikes to feature in the Motors/two wheel section on the main site. Oh and Shaun, stop fishing! Funny though as I opened this thread and Manky and I looked at the first picture, we both said that "Shaun would like that" and sure enough we scrolled down and you were the first reply. |

Thanks fer being so welcoming.
Mankey's almost right, it's mostly XT 500 (front-half of the frame, motor, forks & 21" front wheel) with hacked-about rear frame holding a 16" Rickman rim. That's a Triumph tank & an old Harley sprung seat. The oil is now contained in a stainless tank which a very talented mate of mine made for me copied from a cardboard model I gave him. His work is so perfect, the tank looks seemless and he machined a nut & bolt for the filler. He also made the rear mudguard frame. Bike's taxed & tested (day time use only) and is perfect for blasting around town.
When I got a little more time I'll write some more and send some close-ups.
Hang loose

Hiya D.A,  Are you a drag fan? Would we have bumped into you at a race meet somewhere? As t'missus said, welcome to Mankydom. Tis indeed a nice bike. Very clean & simple. Doesn't look like we can teach you much. If you could email us a couple more pics, maybe including one of you with it & close ups of any unusual features, along with a slightly more in depth version of your description, we'd be very pleased to add you to the Motors, 2 Wheels section of the main site. Then you can help inspire others to get out there & build something. Nice to have you aboard Sir. |
