500 LH Side Panel needed

Hi

I'm looking out for a LH side panel for an 83 500. The colour & badging aren't important, but it does need to be crack free please.

Cheers

Re: Track Day 2016 information request

Hi Viridi Many thanks for the information, it's very much appreciated. I'm planning on being there for 11 & taking a few notes for restoring the 500. My brother is also hoping to meet me there on his GSXR, so we're all likely to give him the MM bug too :) . The ticker probably rules me out of th...

500 Strada handlebars

Hi

I'm looking out for some O.E. spec 500 Strada handlebars. They need to be undamaged, though refinishing isn't an issue for me. Please post a pic if you've got some you want to clear out & let me know what you're looking for price wise.

Cheers

Instrument restoration

Hi

Has anyone got experience of a good clock restorer? Mine are cable operated clocks off a circa '83 500 Strada. The rims are a bit dented & the faces could do with a reprint. Any information would be appreciated :D .

Thanks & best regards

Re: Armours stainless exhausts or tart up the black ones?

Hi Pete Many thanks for your thoughts on the Armour headers. I really appreciate you sharing your experience & will definitely give them a shot :D . I've got a lot of work to do on the basics before then though! It's a runner, but won't tick over when hot enough to be off the choke. I'm looking ...

Re: Armours stainless exhausts or tart up the black ones?

Hi

I need to change the headers on my 500 & wondered if you ever got around to trying those Armours for fit? I'd appreciate any subsequent thoughts you have on this subject & hope it's all working out ok for you?

Cheers

Hi Steve

Thanks for the reply. I'd appreciate pics of the wheels & discs. I'm also interested in the front & rear mudguards & handlebars if the Strada type?

Please advise if you have a pair of wheels, shock & speedo drive? I'm also interested in the brake discs if in better order than the existing items? Please advise if available, condition, pics costs? By all means call me on 07957 547451. Thanks, Gary.

Re: Corsaro solo chain adjustment technique

Hi

Thanks for taking the time to reply. It seems a bit of a nerve shredding process..back nerves & stress nerves :( ! However, I think you're probably right & that's what maybe must be done? I'll look forward to it :?

Thanks again,

Gary

Corsaro solo chain adjustment technique

Hi I'm Gary & I'm the proud new owner of 2006 Cosaro, which I'm just just beginning to find my way around. The handbook suggests the drive chain is adjusted with someone sat on it? My circumstances don't make that very easy! Has anyone come up with a good chain slack figure for the bike placed e...
