Up for grabs is the rare Yamaha SR 500. This one is actually in pretty good shape considering some that I have found and restored before. It is very lively and loud as you can hear in the YouTube video. But I had to get the existing exhaust off of it because it was nasty. I have a new hooligan muffler from Dime City already on the way. As well as a new front brake master cylinder (Hughs Handbuilt HHB Slimline), Biltwell Recoil grips and a few other incidentals. I would really like to do a full resto on this one starting with a Tuffside seat. And new paint. But I have a few other projects I have to finish. These are great bikes though. This would have been my third SR500 but now it can be yours. Tends to start on the first kick every time. Previous owner took great care of it. I can include the front and rear stock fenders and some other nice incidentals. It's currently running off of a battery but you can do a capacitor changeover pretty easily. Parts are still abundant as these are extremely popular in the custom crowd. Just Google "custom Yamaha SR500" and get immediately inspired.Here is a quick YouTube link of it starting and me going down the road (sorry I need to give my wife some filming lessons. Ha ha):https://youtu.be/CBgbJ7GlCJYTires look like they are like new. I haven't dug into the brakes yet but plan on rebuilding them. It definitely has some toasty, rusty areas but they all do at this age. Really want to go ahead and put some new bars on it right away.Ask me anything. Happy to take more pictures an answer more questions. Clear title in hand. Check my feedback and good luck! Bike is also listed on eBay so take action or miss out. Got questions?
