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
[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
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 was going to start the exhaust system this weekend with -
don't laugh - an rg250 spanny grafted onto it 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.

I reckon that will be a fun little bike. I will be interested to watch its progress

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
cheers, dd.
i'd like to end up with something similar to this. real old school

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.[*][*]

looks very nice tp wouldn't dare take it out in the rain or snow though
cheers, dd.

Can you see the picture OK?.....It seemed to post OK, and I could see it, but now there is a photo bucket badge telling me to update my account....which I am struggling to figure out how to do.

it WAS on, now gone. join postimage, it's so easy. i always use it. and it's simple to post images once you join, upload your photo, further down the page you'll get several options. copy the 'hotlink for forums' and paste it into your post on here. submit your message and your photo will appear
cheers, dd.

Will do Dolly, thanks. Looks like you have to pay to upgrade on pbucket.

Couldn't edit the above post.....so here it is again.

Oooh sexy bike! I like it a lot. Lovely colour too

My old street Buffalo,ex-roadracer.

an old one. highly modded gt250 frame with 1965 t10 engine fitted. why couldn't all the 250's have an electric start?
cheers, dd.

That looks nice DD. Your bike?
