SP370 carby, tank & seat

Thanks EML, i already have two 370's to play with. One for vmx and the other for dirt track (eventually).

Tell me more about your DR500 sidecar, i have one of those (DR500 that is) but am looking to pass it on. Some of the sidecar boys tried to get me to passenger at CD6 i was half keen but scared shitless...ha ha.  Is this highjacking?

Tony, i'll definitely keep you updated, vmx bike first as it will be the easiest, then we'll see where we go from there.

Geoff Udy and I raced a DR500 with alloy sidecar for a few years back in the mid eighties. We won a state title and finished second in a national 500cc class in '83. It was quite quick and handled well, this is before the true lightweights got going in '86 or '87.
That outfit was sold to the Neilsen bros from Beerwah and has never been seen again
I hope to be able to replicate that sidecar and have some fun.

Hi Mark. There is a bit of them going about. I have been offered a few in the last couple of months.
I'll keep you in mind as I will need more parts as the project comes together.
Is your Dr500 an S or an X. Either road trail or enduro??
What are the gas tanks like as they usually rust out quickly.

hi , the 500 is the enduro model , but the tank has gone already .
Thanks

Hey Mark, I replied to your email a couple of days ago. Did you get that?

[EML]

Is there a good rear wheel in the mix as mine came with 1 wheel and two spare hubs but nothing complete.

Hey Mark
Any word on those DR bits you were looking for?
