Thanks for the input guys..I was starting to get depressed about how things were falling apart. One of my mates came down tonight and asked if he could have a looksy at my 500 cos he'd heard the old direbladder was having a makeover. He's been collecting 500's 550's and 400's for years and been pestering me for mine for about 10 years. He's been collecting like 20 years and has 3 lock ups full of them. I forgot he might have some of the bits I want. He saw the bike and was gobsmacked...he was that impressed he rushed home to get his camera...where did you get that new engine from..and where the fook did those new carbs come from..holy crap, Is that a new frame yours was never gonna come out that good...holy shit dude thats impressive...that cant be the race engine...whats that oil cooler off...fooking hell you better get yourself a good lock....NO, you cant take that to IOM it needs to be in a museum. Yeah yeah ..OK.
Then the missus came down with a cup of tea for us and said "Wow, is that what you've been talking about, is that the old thing that was in the horse box..bloody hell it looks new, I like that".
I'm dreading going to bed tonight...I know what the question is going to be......"HOW MUCH"

Brake cam, brake operating arm, hub, brakeplate, all the spacers, sprocket carrier(sprocket fits same but 550 has more teeth than 500) and thats from memory when i tried to put a 500 assembly in a K3 with F swingarm
