Giles's Yamaha SR500 Build…

[tmg]

That'll be ready to ride soon, in fact I could save you the hassle of coming to collect by riding it down to you [emoji6]

[Jii]

Holy. Crap.

The guys wanted to deliver it too me on Easter Sunday.  But we will be out of the country on business (more on that any minute), so I may wish to take you up on that, but how the heck do you get back there, from here?

@Giles:

Decent wheels, and engine rebuilt with Wiseco 88mm pistons,  We reckon will end up at about 510cc…

Beautiful @Giles , best of luck with it!

That's an awesome build @Giles ! I really like the colour of it! I am looking for a smaller bike like that for my next project! I had been thinking of a HD sportster, but you opened my eyes to another idea. Thanks

The T. Bonneville is my favourite bike …
but a cool SR for a reasonable price - makes sense and fun.

[Giles]

BOOM…

Wow, nice one G. Clean looking bike! The sound must be insane with that pipe.

[Giles]

I don't know yet, it still has to be delivered/picked up.  But the pipe is internally baffled…..

[Bluegrass]

fantastic!!  congrats!!

[Graeme]

That looks very, very nice.

I'm jealous, I need a bike!

Work with a guy who just had his Bonneville restored, have to get some pictures up.

[steelworker]

Oh…Yeah!!

[Finkster]

Nice bike … very nice!

[twism_23]

Nicely done.

I like the color combo of the tank and the horsehide seat together…should look better with some age...

[tmg]

@Giles pretty sure I saw this out on a test run earlier today, and it looked and sounded mint!

[Giles]

That would make sense…..

[Giles]

Due here Saturday…....
