So, I've been restoring this RG500 since buying it as a hybrid, unloved thing about 3 years ago. Everything as been replaced with either good used, or brand new Suzuki Genuine where possible. It's been a right challenge! Spec as follows : Engine, 58.5mm custom wossner Pistons, slightly decked barrels to correct port timing, welded and reprofiled head to get optimum squish volume, rebuilt cranks, uprated MPE 1st/2nd/6th gears with undercut dogs, performance fabrications billet disc valve covers, Genuine sugaya exhausts, nitron shock, rebuilt forks, rebuilt brakes, every bearing replaced in chassis and engine, genuine new cables, pipes, hoses, oil lines, clips, fasteners either replated or replaced mostly with gen Suzuki parts, new fuel tap, genuine bodywork which has been repainted.. list is endless! Took it for its 1st MOT yesterday and it seriously shifts! Smooth as silk! Lot of 2 stroke talk on here so thought you guys might appreciate this one. Couple of pics from when it started, through its restore and how it finished
That's gorgeous. Top job feller I rode one back in he late 80s One of the most memorable rides of my life. They were going for £3k back then. I wish i had bought one.
Loving them both. The GT is stunning, is it still running the pre x-flow lump. A mate years ago tweeked a 1500 lump and put it in his mk1 escort. That was a sweet car.
im starting to think property was not the way forward. I love your shit. That RG is a serious achievement !
