Short lived black plastic phase:
As it sits now, with my 70 and CB550:
It was 95% stock when I bought it, only mod was a Pro Circuit spark arrestor silencer. Since then it's got a set of pro taper pastrana bend bars, bar risers from some dude in Canada (work like a champ), UNI filter, a set of Michelin S12's since the stockers were wasted, we resprung it for my weight front and rear, and it got a GSS trail port job back in July with a fresh .5 over Wiseco when I found cracks in the stock piston. It had a PC pipe on it for awhile too, but I put the stock one back on after the port job, still on the fence about it. Back in September I blew the clutch out, now it's got a Barnett carbon in there.
It's pretty much done, I need to replace the fork seals again, and I bought a spare set of wheels to mount up some ice tires. Have a studded 18" rear on it's way, and I have the bits to make a front as well so I should be ready to rock.
My first time ever riding a 500 was my buddy's on the ice anyway...
