I realize that i don't have enough time to ride anymore and i probably will never turn this bike into what i want it to be. 1980 sr500. 500cc single cylinder. These bikes have a pretty nice cult following. They make great cafe racers, Street tracker or chopper/bobbers. A lot of cool stuff is being done with them i n japan. Take a look here http://www.bratstyle.com/custom/custom.htm. A lot of the cool stuff has already been done. Wire wheels, supertrapp, battery eliminator, th frame has been cut in the rear to fit a flat tracker or cafe seat. the bike will start up and run but it runs super rich. it will carbon foul a plug very quickly. needs to be rejetted I've ridden it around and everything seems to work properly. $1200 firm. Bike is located in Louisville, KY

Here is a quick video. Once i figured out i had the kill switch on, the bike started on the second kick. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URx4WqXHXj4

yea i actually saw that on another one of your posts. Great little bike. I've always wanted one and stupidly passed on a couple of them years ago. I'm afraid you are a little to far now with $4/gallon petrol.
