« on: January 14, 2013, 04:17:20 pm »
I am considering buying a T500 twin 69-70 ??? model, and I am wondering is it eligiable to be ridden in pre75 or pre 70 class.
should have plenty of grunt, dont know about the handling :o
Any thoughts  ;D
If at first you don't succeed, lower your standards.

Happy new year Darren, mate they hoot when set up right, my cousins used to race one in a DT Sidecar and they were a weapon on US Flattrack back in the day.
If you buy a 69 model it'll even be eligible for pre70 class. I'm working on a very similar project only a 250.
I'm only gunna lengthen the swingarm, brace the frame in a few spots, fit a better front end, fit alloy guards and smallish pommy style seat.
Go for it, my brother has a shipload of bits for them if needed.
Cheers, Steve

I may not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it.
