Thanks, I have seen your CX500 build, your attention to detail is much better than mine. Feel free to hit me up with any questions. The GT engine should be a bit easier to rebuild being a 2 stroke. I have a 2nd one waiting in the wings for when I finish my DT250. Good purchase, you need to snap them up when you find them.Odontologist said:Hey Mr Bernzo, Thanks for the build thread. I'm half way through a CX500 build but couln't pass up a bargain 1977 GT185 from Coffs Harbour in NSW (hence Bananas sign) for my next build. Yor GT looks great and is a credit to you. Although mine will remain under wraps for a while, I've drawn lots of inspiration from your build.
Cheers.
Sounds depressing! Good time of year to be riding here, can be hot though.goldy said:You're still riding...I'm so damn jealous. I wish I lived in Oz, everything is a frozen wasteland up here. Anyhow glad the bike is treating you well and Happy New Year!
Suspension is, well, it's ok. The forks were stripped, cleaned and new oil. No modifications yet. They work ok. The rears are much better than the original ones were. They are only base model shocks though.Odontologist said:Smack middle of summer downunder. In fact, mostly too hot to ride if you don the leathers and gloves.
Love this bike. ;D
How's the ride with the suspension upgrade....and what did you end up putting inside front forks?
