Ready to start Gen2 conversion
Ready to start Gen2 conversion
Just got it yesterday. $1500 and I already have a buyer for the engine at $600. Ebayed a lot of the '88 donor 500, but still have a frame and swingarm with linkage and brake, if anyone is intrested. I will start with the conversion next week. I'll post some pics later. Thanks. Great site by the way.[/img]

Just got these drawn up. Starting this weekend on the actual machining. Things aren't happening as fast as I had hoped, but they are happening. I have enough material to make several sets, and probably will, post up if you want some of the extras. I'll let you all know how many I wind up with.

Gen Project
Finally got back to work on the 500 project. Had time to mill a new "Y" out of 6061AL. Removed old "Y" without cutting any of the factory tubes. I got a lot of it done before I realized I hadn't taken any pictures. Sorry about that, but this is where I'm at now.
Radiator is not welded on yet. It will only be a half inch higher than it was stock.

Cool picture of my mounts and "Y".
All ends of the Y had posts that fit inside the factory tubes. Yes, it was a bitch to get it in place with those things on it, but I feel it wil be worth it.
Thats all for now. I'll remember to post when I get the radiators stitched up. Later Hoons!
