What front end is on the bike? Cuz the mod for the front is to machine down the wheel where the rotors mount about 5 mm each side to fit the...
Could be a good start if someone is dead set on a 500. https://seattle.craigslist.org/est/mpo/6213414547.html
Something funny here. There are not 2 spacers originally in a front wheel. And that dust seal with the metal inner is strange. That bearing OD...
Telefix is the brand. They were out of germany. Pricing is hard because shipping is going to be fairly spendy. I got one recently in what...
Nice 500 and a nice collection. Sweet. Weird the rear signals are wrong, everything else is pretty original. And watch the brackets slide in...
Depending on where and how it hits the exhaust, perhaps you can get another used main stand and have it modified and welded to miss the exhaust...
If you can find one that will work on it. And know how to work on it. Just send the carbs to Squirrel.
Not that I've seen. I look for different shit a lot, but maybe there's a sourace I haven't come across. Pretty much any other rad is going to...
No prob. And just to be clear on something... that pic was off of the internet. #filthy #notCaptain80s

Um... It needs to be connected to something that is creating a vacuum. One of the carb inlets on the head should have a spigot instead of a...
Do you have the vacuum line hooked up to the correct spigot on the petcock? The one on back is vacuum. The one off the middle is just a weep...
You got some work. My 86 is a 7000 mile example, it just happens to have the body work off right now. I got distracted last night re-assembling...
That appears to be the vent tube. It just vents to the atmosphere. My 86 has the bodywork off of it right now but I didn't have time to get to...
Jump the fuel cut relay on the harness side to eliminate that potential issue. You "should" then have power to the pump without having to crank...
Thank you for posting those. The shock looks great. I like your "working mock-up". I was not 100% happy with my rear caliper bracket/brake...
Thanks for the info! Is your U-shaped linkage piece cast or two plates welded to a collar? Cast = 86. Welded = 87. The gold colored crankcase...
Nice job! Would you please elaborate on the rear shock from Jamie? Stock shock re-worked? Also you say, "The rear end went together perfectly...
Don't own an 87 (few 86s), but I have a buddy with an 87. So what is the issue? 2 wire vs 3 wire? Which color is different/missing?
Yep. If you think it has enough material to be blasted, then have it ceramic coated. Pits be damned, it will be sealed anD look just fine....
