T/GT500 FORKS?
Posted: Thu Oct 19, 2017 4:10 am
I'm considering in buying another T500 or maybe a GT500 again.
what front end will fit these bikes.
I need a disc etc on the front that will slow down the bike quickly.
the last T500 I had had drum brakes and nearly ran off the road a couple of times.lol
thats the trouble riding two bikes but not at the same time as I've only got one ass thankfully.
at the time I had the last of the carb fazer600 you could stop on a dollar but the 500 the back brake worked better.
the front did work to start then it started to fade..
must admit I did regretted selling my last bike .
beside not being able to slow down quick enough wasn't the only reason why I sold her.
after all the work that I put into her it was disheartening to see see my effort started to go pear shape.
chrome was rubbing off the indicators ,rust spots appearing on the rims(my fault for riding when road salt was on the road during winter)
powder coat started to bubble up in places around the fixings etc.wasn't charging fault was wire was crossed so it was fixed but by that time I've already decided to let it go.
had a customer in the other to collect 18 grab rails for the triple kawasaki's.(bought rails off me twice)
he restored them bikes and he use to import the suzy 500's but made very little on them so he discontinued doing them up.
I ask him can he get me a good one cheap enough..paying nearly 2 grand for a wreck of a bike is a bit hard to swallow for me.
he knows of 4 good bikes but I said I would like one that I dont have to start buying or re-chroming etc. I want one to ride as is.
he side that those plastic side panels are usually missing not a problem I said as long as it all there dont mind if it need repainting or seat recovering but everything has to work and also no damage to silencers..
he said he'll get me a good one for around 2.5 grand(uk pounds)
dont mind either bikes GT or T500.
