Since some of you guys are SR fanatics, I have been discussing with my dad that I should sell it with the White Brothers performance kit because it is cool and time period correct. He disagrees and thinks I should put my brothers stock throttle assembly and carb on it then switch out the exhaust...

Update in a few days

Re: The SR500 Hey everyone, the SR is going on sale. I am not getting out of the SR game just selling this one to get more tools.

Re: The SR500 Every bike has a purpose so no need to throw it in the trash. I saved this from getting parted out, it sat for 31 years with out a title. I have ran out of ground clearance and without proper training, I am hanging off the bike as far as I feel comfortable. I will be going to a...

Re: The SR500 For the purest, I am not going to do any modifications to the bike that will not be able to be taken back to its original state. After reading Tony Foale's book multiple times, I am off to this book now. It is more directed to my Formula SAE team as I have to fill in the intake...

Re: The SR500 HA there will no hacking at all well maybe some machining and destructive testing, other than that just fabrication. and this is what I get to come home to every night.

Re: The SR500 I hope you enjoy the build Iphone 4s photos from here on

Hi all, I have been away for awhile. I am now 24, and I think I have enough knowledge to be dangerous now. I am completing a Aerospace Engineering degree at Wichita State University. I have bought a 1981 SR500 that I had to jump though some hoops to get the title for, it has not been registered...

I don't think any of these bikes will blow, after looking at all the bikes. I am excited for Barber, tearing it up and meeting some toners.

Thanks guys, this is awesome. There were some good bikes this month, with a lot of hours and hard work in them, they all look good. Hey if you want a race, maybe we can have a friendly competition at Barber next year on there all goes lap :) This bike and some of my other bikes will be there too.

Hey everyone, Thank you for the nomination. There are some good bikes this month. Let me tell you a little bit about me and the bike. My name is Chad Goings, I am a 23 year young composite and mechanical engineer student. This bike is my first customer, it started out as a basket case. I...

thank you guys for the nomination, I accept.

hahahaha well luckily my brain scanner was already tested to get through attic gnomes and all gnomes for that matter. So I am afraid to tell you that I your brain is mine. Tony's book is really good and informative, I think they have a mac edition.

Re: '75 CB550K1 Gulf - last of the carbon that rear might want to warp too, with the 45 in there. But it is cool you are experimenting with different things. keep up the good work.

Re: '75 CB550K1 Gulf - last of the carbon Hey Chris, Yea we are on the same page, with the 45's. It is warping because it is probably not balanced and symmetrical. if you do a lay up you always want a balanced and symmetrical laminate, example. 90 0 -45 +45 +45 -45 0 90 if you are only...

Thank you teazer for your concern, I am actually well aware of how telescopic forks work, where their strong points are and where their weak points are. In this case I explained to the customer the situation, I actually have a front fender in my garage that was ready to be put on the bike but he...

Thanks Reds, I just wish my welder had your skills. I don't think I have ever seen that good of welds. I just met a guy, that is going to teach me how to tig weld. Do you know any sites or videos available on the internet that I can learn from so that I can start off on the right foot?

Re: '75 CB550K1 Gulf - last of the carbon Yep

Re: '75 CB550K1 Gulf - last of the carbon Hey just letting you now -+45's are more pliable than 90 and 0's. everyone should try composites.
