Finally found a rotary

Post by bighole »

Picked this up last summer, finally getting a pic up. First thing I did was put the right handlebars on, will be ordering a stock seat soon. She runs like a charm!

My bike is a "bighole" I keep throwing money into, so I had to get another!

Very nice indeed :-) I can't tell for sure from the photo whether you need it, but Jess also has the replacement plastic gauge covers. They use a different plastic than the original, and stand up to the weather and sun better.

Yeah, he will be getting a call from me soon as I do need the cover. I wouldnt mind replacing the rear turn signals also. The PO also replaced the round airbox covers with coffee can lids (don't ask) so hopefully those are available seperately from the whole sidecovers. I was fortunate enough to also get the exaust cones included which have been installed.
Did take it to a bike show last fall and had the paint stared off of it... fun!

I am not sure, but the tail light looks to be from another bike. Wasn't the original shaped similar to the instrument pod?

If you can make it work, its worth actually making a visit to Jess' place - pretty impressive and he certainly does have a lot of parts !

I'm sure he can fix you up with pretty much whatever you need 8)

Oh boy, I would love to... my wallett would hate me though!
Good eyes! I forgot to mention that I did replace the tailight, the one that was on when I bought it was a T500- I think. Gotta love those POs. At least he put new tires on it!
