Hey folks, I wonder if anyone could measure their rear brake stay bar on their T500 and send me the specs? My bike doesn't have
one and I'm thinking I'll just fabricate it. That is unless someone has one kicking around they'd like to sell?

Slow and steady may win the race, but without loud and fast it's just a waste

I have one that just came back from the chrome shop for the build I'm doing - I'll measure it up in the morning and sent you a PM.

Watched it again last night. Just about the best teen movie ever.

In total agreement.....FBDO is first class entertainment, and what films should be like.

I was flicking through my Amazon Prime movie choices and it came up! Figure it was fate (and my wife had NEVER seen it before)!
Good way to spend a Saturday and thanks Ian, I'll use Sunday to fabricate the part!
