What all do you need to get the 500 on the road? I want to so bad...
I have turned mine into a Supermoto but it takes a bit of effort and I live in England (UK) which has less over the top emmissions controls.
I have fitted Talon hubs with a 3.5" front and 4.25" rear Excell rims, a 320 millimeter front Braking wavy disc.
I made my own homemade wiring loom for the lights/horn using switchgear from the left bar of an Honda XL125 (doesn't matter that much what bike it comes from but I wanted indicators and it had to have the Off/ PO/ lights on switch in one and an indicator plus the Main/dip switch, oh and a horn switch.
All on the left side.
I put the killswitch on the right.
I used a Elextrex lighting coil and a Boyer Bransden regulator/rectifier to supply a rectfied current to the battery.
A pushbike speedo was fitted but I now have a Panoram endurance digital speedo.
I have a UFO Ghibli front light (that I think looks pretty good) and the rear light has LED bulbs to reduce power needs.
I still want a Eline 200 watt lighting coil though cos that would be a fair bit better than the coil I currently have.
Gearing, I currently use 16/47 but bear in mind I have smaller than standard wheels so that only gives a top speed of just over 100 mph.........
It would do that up a big hill though and get there pretty quick
One thing that helps is to have a clear petrol tank because if your mixing juice at the pump it helps when you can see how much petrol you are going to need, then you can switch of the petrol tap (to stop unmixed oil getting through while you do it) and work out how much petrol your adding and then add the oil first.
That way when you add the petrol, it mixes it far better than putting the petrol in then when the tanks full, trying to add the oil and trying to slosh it around
Don't expect to have fun on straight roads as you won't but I love it to bits on the bumpy twisty roads.
