Valentinik:
Tonight i got the rear seat frame mocked up in position. I just need to work out a way out finishing off the ends of the frame underneath the hoop.
The wheel is only there to check positioning. Im having a set of new spoked wheels made with black powder coated rims and stainless spokes with the hubs i've got.

Valentinik:
I spent a few hours on the frame this afternoon and got it finished.
Rear hoop and seat mounts welded in:
I also made a small battery box and welded a bracket underneath the swing arm to mount it. I just need to weld the aluminium box up

Valentinik:
I made the aluminium panel for the seat tonight and mounted it to the brackets i welded on the frame. The bolts are only temporary.

It's missing a long thin spring which goes through the hole in the pin you can see protruding from the switch.
If the carbs are missing I'd fit the carbs off either the 500 or the 550F as the 550K carbs were much different and TBH are pretty pants in comparison. You'd also need the airbox to match but it's a worthwhile change as the 550K carbs really are that bad.

With reference to this post oddjob made about fitting some 500 carbs. Im looking at buying some but i wondered what year 500 bike would i need to be looking for and what the model of the carb is?
Thanks
Mike
