Looks awesome, Great job
And are a beast to ride, I have the 250 and 500 from 84
Can you tell me where you got the paint for the frame from, is it the original blue as my 500 has the worst pastel blue paint touch up  :-[

Hey Bret, that clutch arm on the motor is that right?
Looks to be on the wrong angle and a different style of cable :o

Excellent work Brett. I'd be wanting to ride it at Nepean first up, (if it ever comes back on-line this year) to get a feel for the POWER. Should make the 125 feel like a raleigh 20...... with an old guy pedalling it. Where ever you ride it - enjoy.
Cheers Chris

You've done a brilliant job Dono.....I'm not a Suzuki guy but I'd own your bike in a heartbeat. There's something  'worksy' about the RM500.
