I'm going to go ahead and use epoxy. I found this on youtube, researching which product might be best. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bM4IGweHT2k

I here you. My only concern was that these bushings are meant to eventually be removed/replaced.. I guess they could eventually be removed with a dremmel tool or something similar. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Thanks for the ideas. Welding and machining is probably the best option, but the most expensive. Not sure how I feel about the epoxy option, although that would be the easiest and low cost. I might have the future owner of the bike cursing me out on this forum 15 years from now trying to...

I have a Suzuki T500 and recently removed the rubber engine mount bushings. One of the holes where the bushing is installed looks to have been worn to the point it will no longer allow for a press in fit of the new bushing. I have no idea how this could have happened. When i took the old one...

Re: '76 RD400c -- 2 stroke monster I like that light, where did you buy it?

My Suzi T500 Project (Finished Video & Pics!) Go with the stat seals Teazer recomended. I use them on mine. Have you checked the lines for potential holes where they are glued to the banjos and check valves? There are 6 potential leak connections on each line in the glued sections.

Re: My Suzi T500 Project (Finished Video & Pics!) This is by far the best looking T500 I have ever seen. Great work John. Now go out and burn the numbers off those new tires!!!

My Suzi T500 Project (Video!) is the oil coming from around the exhaust spigots attached to the cylinders? If yes, it could be that you need to seal them with silicone. Also, you could have one or more check valves stuck open and they are dumping oil into the cylinder, then when you start her...

Re: My Suzi T500 Project (Almost Done!) Make sure you check the glue seals around each of the check valves where they attach to the plastic line. I had problems with mine and it turned out there was a leak in the seal. I used 5 minute epoxy around all the glued areas and it was fixed.

Any chance you can provide the width of the rear hub you are using and diameter of the axle?

You might want to check to make sure your fork legs are straight and that the triple tree stem is straight. Assuming the top stem piece you have is the right spec, then something else is out of whack. The top stem piece should slide right on.

Killer Bike....it reminds me of a bulldog... wide, low, white & black. Its Bad Ass!!!

With your design skills and access to a fab shop, why not make up some custom headlight brackets? I have to say I love the bike and everything you have done so far, but hate those brackets. I'd bring the headlight bucket in a little closer to the frame while your at it. Keep up the good work...

Re: 1974 t500 cafe build How does the fzr triple fit in the t500 frame tube ? Do you need to modify the length at all? Also, is that a gt500 front hub or a xs650 hub you're using with the rotors? Wondering about the hole spacing.

Re: 1974 t500 cafe build There is plenty of room for an oil tank to hide behind the frame bracing for the twin shock mounts under the seat.......oh wait a minute??!!

Thanks Richard! Glad to see your killer 750 getting nice props here....that thing looks fast just sitting still.

Re: 1974 t500 cafe build This is the first mono shock conversion I have seen on a T500....it looks awesome! You must have spent a lot of time figuring and fabbing this up. I'd love to try this on the t500 project Ihave waiting in the wings...will be watching close.

I wish I had had Jordon's bank account. I'd be showing pics of my 7 custom built Ducati's...one for each day of the week :)
