So i have the opportunity, well i commited already, to pick up 2 500's a 90 set up for desert, paddle tire, big tank, mikuni flat slide carb, it's supposed to be a good runner. Im thinking I will make that my dedicated dune bike.
The other is a 92, with an almost new motor, cases and all, v force reeds, new pwk, scotts damper. that will be a hillclimb bike and trail rider.
Theres also 2 extra front rims, with brakes and tires, 2 rear rims with sprockets and rotors. An extra carb, a spare set of forks, a tank, fenders and plastics.Tons of jets and needles, a slide. Lots of literature and manuals, another unmounted scotts, two spare paddles, and an extra set of aftermarket hubs. All for a very reasonable price...kinda a family and friends discount
Soo...What do I need to know about these bikes? Anything in particular I need to look for or be aware of? I have a 01 AF with a 97 motor, so im not totally clueless, but I have limited knowledge of steel 500's. So any little tips or trricks will be greatly appreciated!!
Im sure youve seen me asking around about swing arms and extensions. My plan is to get extensions for both, Ive rode extended bikes at Pismo, and like them, and the 92 will be at the hillclimbs, so i may try the extended classes.
