Soooo, I picked up this GS500 for monkey up the road from me, rode it to work for a while, burnt out the rectifier, fried the battery, swapped them out, topped out at 105mph, took a millennia to get there though. Sport tourers aren't my usual venture, as my wife put it she thought I was having a mid life crisis, at 32, until I chopped it up as is the story with most bikes I own, then she knew it was business as normal.

As I bought it

Robbed the headstock from the frame to take the forks

As it sits on my bench although the engine is mounted now and some more cross members / gussets are welded in

Hopefully I'll get it sorted by the summer, MSVA'd and registered as a new build and on the road for a few rallies.[/img]
