    Mate that's beautiful! That was a dream bike of mine as a kid. Would love to see and hear it in action.

    Looks like a good job you did too

    ManDownUnder that was my dream bike aswel but could not afford it when I was 15 let alone able to ride it without killing myself.

    Visit this link to hear it in action, excuse the clarity.

    Hi Paulo, I have a 1980 Suzuki DR400T that I get dirty, the TT500 will stay all nicely wrapped up stored in my cave.

    Thanks so much for the comments, I'm glad you like it.

    All credit to you, Sir!
    The before and after pictures look like a near wreck and a brand new bike!
    It's hard to believe they're the same machine.
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    Awesome bike mate! If it were mine I might even be tempted to race it...

    I know, I am pleased with the end result.
    The person that I got it from tried tell me it was this model and that model but when I looked at the frame and engine numbers I knew what it was and I had contain my excitement and just agree with him rather then correct him and then fuck my chances of getting it. Very rare to find one of these with matching frame, engine and crankcase numbers. I don't give a shit what the bike looks like just as long as it has those magical matching numbers.
    Thats where the value is it makes it more authentic.

    Thanks for the feedback vifferman
