I worked 5 months to make the bike ready.Thess are the thing I've done and changed about the original T500 bike.- shortning the wheel base from 1.52 meter to 1.37 meter so the bike is 15 cm shorter.- bring the front fork angle from 25° to 23°.- build my own tank and seat in fibreglass.- reinforce the frame.- mount 18 inches aluminium rims on the front and rear wheel .- mount a GT 750 fork with double disk brakes.- assemble a transistor ignition which works with the(old) contact points.- assemble my own tachometer.with LEDs- make my own heads- mount and assemble the Swarbrick pipes.- mount a M-Toby steering damperI have driven two times at the circuit with this new bike and i can tell that the concept is very good. The frame is very strong.also in the curves. The next step is tuning a engine to +/- 65 hp.The engine I tuned past year is a total loss at the moment so now i have an original engine in the bike with my own heads.regardsPascal Benoot
Pascal's bike has come a long way and he is rightly proud of his efforts.
