And finally, a couple of photos with big brother ... [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
So the bike is finally done now and I have nothing left to do for it. Here are a few photos. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
As you all already know, I love the white rims but here is something extra that I did to complement them. I painted the radiator screen white....
It is a Vortex sprocket. I went with the stock 15/43 gearing.
The air box, gas tank and exhaust is now on. Not sure if I mentioned it but all fluids and filters have been changed. Chain and sprockets as...
Sure. I can do that. After finally giving it some attention after all these years, I forgot how close to new it is. I am now debating about...
Things are starting to come together. I've got 2 coats of wax on the tank and bodywork. Definitely in the home stretch now ... [ATTACH]...

Now that I have the new sprockets and chain on the bike, I have installed the used crankcase cover that I found on eBay. I got real lucky with...
I've got the wheels put back on the bike. I am glad to see this bike back with the white rims versus the OEM black. No problem keeping them...

As mentioned, I got the wheels picked up the other day. They zipped away the powder coat from the disc surface mounts and I ran a tap through the...
I have used this shop since 2008 and they do good work. In the past they always masked EVERYTHING, but missed the disk mount surfaces this time....
I got the rims back today from being powder coated. This set is the OEM set that I had kept off the bike and was hoping to keep them black, but...
Well at least if you do notice, you will have that problem solved knowing that the carb boots are different. Are you looking for a tank or are...
Wow ... Does your vault of knowledge open up more as the beer count goes up :) Very good feedback as I forgot about the fuel pump versus gravity...
You are not hijacking. Talking anything about the 500 is what this thread is about. My understanding is that the '84/'85 carbs have a 32 mm...
Thank you. I think that most of the parts that have been out getting work done are going to be coming back soon. I am anxious to get this bike...
