I hope he's taking good care of that.As mentioned, that is DEFINITELY George Jobe's 86 SR500. The ONLY bike that could take the RC500 apart. And it did, regularly. A guy in holland known as 'Johnnie crank' used to build his motors. If any of our dutch contingent can get the specs off him I'd be more than happy to roost the space shuttle on take off...
 :evil:
And lo, I did loft the front wheel and carried it forth to the unbelievers, and cast it down before them and said unto them ''look now upon the might of my throttle control ye pitiful cretinous ones''
And the unbelievers did quake in their boots....
