Re: New Project. T500 / GS500
that is something I wanted to do a few years ago.
looks nice and job well done and modern looking.
you need to find some new heads.
how does she run?
I'm sure others would like to know as well.
on the T500 forums some guys had problems with foam pods,bike bucking ,lack of top end power etc.
anyway I like it a lot ,would I have one? I wouldn't say no.
what does the other side look like,did you alter the gear lever etc?
pictures?

Looks brill, it’s something I’ve thought about doing due to the high cost of buying any GT’s now. Well done.
Did you manage to insure it ok ? I would think the GT engine is a lot lighter than the GS one, did you fit different suspension springs ?

John it runs as smooth as silk no bucking or surging at all, as for top end i am taking it easy as it has had a rebore and new pistons. yes i had to mod the gear lever but it was quite easy as shown in pictures of other side of bike.johnakay wrote: ↑Thu Aug 26, 2021 11:44 am that is something I wanted to do a few years ago.

Don't want to be a dick, but from one Richard to another, that is a really nice looking bike. Great attention to detail. Nice work.
