RC500 (450)
« on: March 04, 2014, 10:57:56 AM »
I'm having a mid life crisis (another one) & am contemplating selling my Brad Lackey RC500 replica bike. The bike was painstakingly built as close as possible to the real thing with the parts available to me at the time, including making a side port big bore (450) engine. It is not a 450/480 engine fitted to a 1980 chassis, but a true "one of a kind". Those who have seen it can attest to the build quality. The bike starts easily, runs true & smooth. It has not been ridden. Brad lackey himself thought it was his old bike & signed the tank some years ago. Full details, photo's & files will be forwarded to whoever actually buys the bike if indeed it sells, but no-one else. It won't be cheap but not a stupid price either.
Email dirt.bike@bigpond.com for photo's & details.
Cheers,
K
