SR500 Brat Build

Hi Guys... I have been to lazy to post My SR project but now that I have the time to get it together before the Born Free show ,I thought I would share.. I did the frame over a year ago but just got around to Laying a black base with red flake and a ton of clear..Shaved and polished the fork tubes and triple tree ,scored a 21" spoold front and made the seat (gettin upholstery today).. Anyway,thats where it stands.. Should be a roller next week.

Squashed lol....great start!

There are very few bikes i want more than an sr500 right now. Looking really good. Glad to see something different from the usual sporty/alien/p-nut tank.

Sweet,what are your plans for the engine ??

Except a pipe and maybe a flat slide carb ,I"ll probably leave the engine otherwise stock for now.

Not a lot of room for fork travel...how does that work? Just curious. Either way, it looks cool as shit!

OOH I loves me some sr500! I'll be watchin this one for sure

Seat finished..

Awsome. I want an sr so bad. What's that tank from? It looks great on there.

Building a few XS's also so My bike is always slow going..

A lil further along..

Any writeup on how you did that seat? Lookin' bitchin'!

Thanks Man.. Made the seat base from a cutting board, heated it up to bend it then I used Sparco racing foam,cut it to fit and had my upholster guy pleat it and match pleat the P pad.

dammnmnmnmn that thing is rad! ive always wanted a 500 since my old neighbor got one for 200$ paperd & running .but the guy was such a douche he butcherd it and fucked it up, i remember how bad ass the bike ran! I got a lil sr250 havent touched it! was gonna do a cool lil cafe ,as much as i hate cafe racers...
looks superb though!! keep up the good work

Got a Leo titanium pipe today from a customer.. Looks perfect I think.

Agreed. That pipe looks good.

I love that pipe and I'm really digging the way the frame looks. I may have to paint my tins that way.

Damn that thing is dope.

Thanks guys.. Its finally coming together after sitting in My kitchen for the last year in pieces :/ Gotta polish the cases then I can drop in the motor..

Looking nice man. Fair play its slammed alright. Are you keeping the front end like that?
