Some current pictures of my 500 project.
Current changes are the 450r rear fenders and seat, foot pegs are finished (400ex + cr500), all handle bar controls are present minus the throttle,
head light has bulb, both front and rear brake systems are complete, air box prototype is shown and I'm very happy with it, I'm still waiting for the aluminum version to come from welding, carb is in the mail, blaster kicker is installed,
Issues, the rear still looks high, its better when the suspension is loaded but I'm thinking about 20" tires real hard, fenders are not 100% mounted, waiting on final airbox to come back so I can finalize the subframe and then finalize the fenders & seat position, some trimming to be done to the fenders etc etc.....Will it be finished for trikefest?...not cosmetically.....will it be there and will I be riding it?....definetly!
finally most argue against me with this but I'm gonna get the accustart installed, not because I'm a sissy and "NEED" it....but more of a convience thing like electric start on thumpers...you don't "NEED" electric start....its just nice to have.
As usual this is far from done but closer everyday...
