Thanks for the love fellas! It actually behaves very well. It is basically a swingarm setup just pointed to the front instead of the rear. Has a cool effect of anti dive built in and the leading link makes it super easy to steer.

Thanks man! I appreciate that!

Nope. JB Weld will fix that right up.

This looks like crap. It’s going to fall apart hauling a z50 Monkey. That being said I would use that all day long. I dig the heck out of this scooter mover.

Thanks for the love guys! I really do love and ride this bike a lot so I’m super stoked that you guys appreciate it as much as you do. It was fun because it had no rules so it was organic as I built it. I agree that it seems like folks don’t see these great bikes enough that get nominated every...

Regardless the red looks awesome. Good choice there. Gonna do any accent colors or striping?

Thanks dude! I dig it too!

This bike was indeed a scrap heap. Literally bought it off of a scrap trailer full of abandoned junk at barbers. The story goes, I traded a set of tires for a locked up and neglected DR500 several years ago from CycleFreak73 and turned it into a dual sport mongrel over 3 different versions. At...

If it helps, everything is refinished, it’s just refinished to maintain the patina. 2k clear on the tank, all of the frame and wheels are powder coated, etc. [emoji6]

Yep, they’re pretty loud, but not completely deafening. This is on my DR500 build: https://youtu.be/CHCR0VjuuS8

Thanks Jimbo! It’s something I’ve never built before and out of my normal wheelhouse but the “anything goes” nature of it has made it a blast to build and ride!

I’ve been riding the crap out of this bike and I love it. It’s a lot like a bicycle as it’s so light and narrow. I swung through the scrap metal place today and had it weighed. With a half a tank of gas it’s 268lbs. Crazy lightweight. While I was out riding I had the DSLR in my backpack and...

Guess I missed all of that? I didn’t mean to insinuate anything in your thread, I was just messing with my buddy Mike (Maritime). Hope I didn’t cause an issue. I didn’t check in there today so I feel like I missed something. Anyway, get us up some riding video of this thing!

[emoji6] Kidding of course, it’s all in good fun.

That would be me going up against it [emoji23]

Very nice fab work! I suck at looking at this forum so it was cool to see you represented on BOTM to turn me on to the work. I’m a BMW guy too and have built 3 or 4 of them. They look good wearing alloy! Here’s my last Beemer mongrel, so you can see I appreciate certain aspects of your build!

Interesting how I never considered how I was going to do an oil change on this thing. Now that I have a few miles on it, I wanted to dump the initial high detergent oil and put in something more permanent. The oil looked good, so I’m confident she’s gonna be a good runner with no issues...

That’s gotta be easier to muscle than a 750 lump...

Man that’s sexy lookin’!
