    Base SR500 has been purchased:

    Now begins the task of making it look more like this….

      Nice one G! 🙂 Love the agility of the old small cc Japanese bikes. Always find myself cringing when I see knobby tires/no front fender though…

                              Looks very cool, I like their work a lot.

                              As an added bonus, you're doing the world a favour by getting your donor bike off the street in the condition it was in.  Only my opinion of course, but just because you have blue paint left in the can, it doesn't mean you need to keep finding shit to paint.

                                          hey there @Giles are you able to share the costs of the customizing as well?
                                          just asking cuz i'm really interested in to do the same one day…buying a not so cool bike during the winter months and customize it to something sweet for summer.

                                          just so i can see if and how much i have to save up for a project like this.
