1968 T500 Cobra mild custom with 72 GT550 front end. Wanted to keep the look of the Cobra with slightly better braking power.

Dave,

I'm beginning to think that I must have stolen all my T500 pictures off your server.

I'll what else I've gathered over the years.

So far my favorite is the red and white cafe belonging to James closely followed by the one in the GS rolling chassis.

Where are all these custom tanks coming from?
Anyone have any ideas?
I know about the Evan Wilcox TR500 tanks that I can't afford, and I know about the Airtech Fiberglass Hustler/Titan tanks, but there are a LOT in these thread I've never seen before...

Hi to all the 500 fans ! Dave has already posted 2 of our bikes....the all alloy one with the TZ tank, was one we built quite quickly for a mate, but it came out rather well......and of course Tim's blue with alloy tank T500 which you have all probably seen before.
We also have a couple of others worth a mention...

Tim's brother Jon has a Sheene tribute in Texaco Heron colours that we did a couple of years back, and my old girl in blue and white, and owned by me since 78...
