                  It looks like it's coming along quite quickly. The frame seems to have had most of the welding done, and the new seat in place.

                  I like the patch, and the FQHH seat covering. 🙂

                        What is super cool is that when Yamaha do the launch video of the XTR1300 we are building, they want to include my SR500.  The current Sports heritage range (which the XTR500 is part of) traces it's roots back to bikes like the SR500.

                                    _Just an update, things are going great, we have decided to rebuild the engine with a new piston so you are looking at 530cc with uprated Wiseco piston and fresh aquablasted everything with new gaskets etc.

                                    We are getting this back by end of next week for the assembly and completion towards the end of march._

                                      Hopefully March will be getting warm or some warm days at least, when you take delivery.

                                        Sounds good Giles.

                                        Now you need to get yourself licensed. 🙂

                                          I have Yamaha coming to Goport to make a Video later on in the year.  Haraki on the XJR1300 and me on my SR, there is no way I'm going to be in that video with "L" plates stuck to the bike.  I'm not sure any of the film crew would be able to stop laughing…... 😉 😉 😉 😉

                                            you need L plates in the uk even though you have a full license for a car?
