Rg500 based special

Hi Guys
Im sure many of you will be interested in the rg500 special im building
Its a race replica with a difference ive pieced together parts from many manufactures to build something different and i hope you guys like what you see.

this is what i started with


this is the bike now near completion, with the exception of machining and welding ive done all the work myself

 

Very very interesting, look great!

 

I like it.

 

Can I ride it???

I know all about 2 strokes. :up:

(drool!)

 

Very cool. I was wanting to go that route a few years ago but with an RGV250 chassis I had my eye on. Once I talked with Rick Lance about the RG motor I realized it was out of my price range

 

Very nice.. jealous...

 

Custom Bike, Custom Problems, Custom Price....

 

Thanks guys i know people like you appreciate seeing someone doing these kind of builds
Today was a nice sunny day so had the chance to take some decent pictures it had been a while since any were took in the garden with more space, enjoy these as i im hopeing the bike will soon be at the painters.

 

Baaaad aaaaasssssss!!!!!

 

Hello

Very very nice bikeI have a orginal RS250 Aprilia.
Whas it hard to bend in the RG500 engine in the frame?

 

Fitting the engine was the easiest part to be honest. once everything was lined up all that was needed was a cut out for the rear carbs apart from that just brackets and new cradle, The things that took the time were things like making the seat, i just coulldnt find one suitable so i grafted parts from 2 old seats i had then made a mold from that and the result you can see. considering this was the biggest thing id made in fibreglass i was pleased as considering there are two pipes under it it is still quite narrow and fits the shape of the bike very well. I had seen another bike built that must of had loads of problems as it ended up with side radiators like an aprillia rsv but mine uses a rad in the normal position infact a big 3 core job so just proves one can be fitted i also have a small rad in the vee of the fairing just to help cooling

 

Her are a few video clips i done last year when id rebuilt the motor
my 6yo son loves the bike he is a true bike fan

I see that you have played this game before.....

I'm currently doing something similar with an RGV250 frame. I am not quite as far along though.

Cheers

 

Been there done that! $26k worth

 

$26k How the hell did you spend that sort of money.
I think youd be suprised just how cheap you can build these bikes

 

Lovely.

 

Power to weight baby ... P to W!!! very nice ... very nice .... BUUUUURRRRRRAAAAAPPPP!!!!

 

Stupid ass Harley based custom.....

Full build from the frame up, lots of billet, chrome, etc.....

I wish I would have dumped it into a 2 stroke build like this.

PM me or call me about the costs...
