Now I just have a pile of bullshit it fit in it

Got an electronics box fabbed and stitched in. Cheers!

I made a tacked up a hoop, made a simple seat pan, and am beginning to build a little electronics tray underneath the seat. However, I'm a bit stuck and could use some inspiration. Anyone have some pics of custom battery trays they've built?

Welp, since I've had heaps of spare time in quarantine, I've decided to ditch the Tracy body and build some bits for this bike.

She lives again!! http://imgur.com/gallery/j95X6b7 Wow, I had no idea that these bikes had such a strict starting ritual... Once I got it down however, she purrs. Also, maybe I should just sell my Tracy body

Wow those old adds are awesome. I'd love to come across a fairing some day. If anyone ever sees one, keep me in mind!

No, not really. After some reading last night, I learned the standard starting procedure with these bikes. This is my first sr500 and I had no idea that you cant adjust timing and there's a technique to using the decomp lever and such. TLDR - I'm dumb but still in disbelief that she won't start.

DERAIL WARNING - haha Sorry for the U-turn but I need some help getting this bird started. I kicked my brains out today and never got so much as a sputter. I'm hoping there's an sr500 wizard here that can lend me a hand. Quick Facts - Brand New Mikuni vm38 - bought from Niche Cycle as...

Maaaaaaan, that looks rad. Did they make a factory rd350 or 400 in the Kenny colors?

I could dig that! I would like to get it painted eventually. Anyone want to Photoshop some funky paint jobs? 8)

I think that's the ticket. I wouldn't run this actual seat, I'd make my own. This is a $30 Amazon job. Does anyone have any experience fitting a tt tank to an SR? It looks tougher than I thought - I'll have to relocate the coil, cut off some existing tabs and oil cooler and weld on new tabs. I...

Welp, I have a new mukuni 38mm on order. The old one had some funky bits on it and I thought it best to bite the bullet and start fresh. While I await the postman, I figured I'd mull over a re-style. I picked up this TT500 tank and a $30 Amazon seat - and it has me captivated. The Tracy body is...

Why didn't anyone tell me that an sr500 clutch cover doubles as a waffle iron?

@brodie - I totally agree. I'd much rather spend $30 on a new cover than chase threads in the case Plus, I got a chance to snag a Peace sign Motolanna cover that'll make this bike even uglier
