That's a pretty rare conversion. I'd be interested to know what the bike rides like, when it done. What made you decide to do it?

3 things mate :D
[1] i had a ts250 engine which cost me £100.
[2] i had a gt250 frame doing nowt.
[3] i've got too much time on my hands :D
plus, i had a look at the vic camp bike and quite liked it, but slightly modernised and
with lights. hopefully 36mm rg250 forks on it, because i like the look of those anti-
dive majobbys on them :D was going to start the exhaust system this weekend with -
don't laugh - an rg250 spanny grafted onto it :D piccy shows how far i've got. all that's
in the cases is the gearbox mainshaft and bearing and the front sprocket, so i could line
the chain run up.
cheers, dd.

don't forget, this is a shed build - i aint got thousands of dollars for cnc machinery etc. i use a hacksaw and file.
takes a bit longer, but so much more satisfying than programming xyz :D
cheers, dd.
i'd like to end up with something similar to this. real old school :D

Many of you will have seen my old T500M before, but for those of you that haven't.......
I've owned this bike for forty years, and wanted to restore it a few years ago. I didn't want it stock, I wanted it to look how I would have wanted it in 1977, but had neither the money, ability, or imagination at that time to achieve. Priority, was that it would still be instantly recognisable, to those of us old enough to know one, as the T500M it started out as. I like the tank shape, and think that, combined with the original maui blue, it unmistakably states, T500.
I wanted to customise the bike heavily, but subtly. I've changed or modified just about everything, but it's still obviously a T500M, so I guess that's mission accomplished.[*]Image[*]
