    Sr500 Build.

    I have built a few of the SR's but have spent a bit more time and money on this one. It is nearly finished, waiting on an all alloy Norton Manx tank from Japan, arrives this week and then down for licencing. Took a few months but well worth the effort. Will be using it for a few events with the vintage club and keep it for a Sundy ride the other days. Few engine mods and a good muffler help it along.

    Sr500 done and dusted finally.

    The last part of the jigsaw finally arrived, the tank. This build is a bit of the old with the new, road character I call it, not a show bike but looks and sounds even better

    simple, tidy, looks like it should have come that way from the factory.

    All signs that mucho time and effort has been spent. Well done!
    In life you only get one lap, might as well make it a good one.

    Looks great Boof, Those bar ends look the same as the ones I got from Trojan Classics here in Sydney with the convex lens, give us a full ride report and let me know if the mirrors work well or not, I still haven't got mine on the road yet.
