500 Two-Stroke Tech

Looking for a build thread on this one. Built or owned by Des Lindsey.

GT550 Streetfighter. Built by Yantosh of BluntForceTrauma Cycles.

Oooooooh the speed block does look suuuuuuuperb.

Built by me. GT750 Kettle engine in BIMOTA HB1 replica frame.









Hi Smoker,
I am not quite sure if your attention of this thread was to post any custom bikes or just get more details on the 2 bikes - the RD500 is one of the most beautiful RD500 project bikes I have ever seen, the bodywork fits perfectly. Looks much better than my MARLBORO bike.
Sorry if I have hijacked your thread with my pictures

Nice looking YZR rep that top one.

I would be interested to see if he widened the lower to get it to fit as high up the frame. I just widened mine with a split down the front rather than split the lower in half and splice in an extra piece.

But I may go ahead and widen my lower fairing a bit more to bring he foot cutouts closer to the rear sets.

And I wonder if that swing arm is an R1 unit or a TZR250 3MA SP swinger just fitted upside down.

Are the wheels YZR R1/R6 or maybe later FZR?

Any photos of your bikes are welcome in my threads.

You are definitely one of the world's best motorcycle fabricators.

Lovely those R6 / RZ500 conversions! I still have a spare RZ500 engine in my garage, tuned by Andy Jones from ATR...I may build such R6 bike one day.
I am afraid I need to get 110 years old to complete all my open plans and dreams. . .and win the lottery as well.

Maybe it does not really fit to the other clean polished bikes here...
It`s the bike of a friend. We started this motorcycle stuff together in his garage for some years until we splitted everything up.
Initially it was a XTZ750 - Fuel Tank, swing arm and the frame are standard or close to standard. Not to forget, the indicators
Engine has also "slightly" more power and he knows how to use this 260kg beast (also off road)

I could look at the bikes in this thread all day long.....in fact, considering its cold and rainy and I am not in the shape to hit the tools, I will do just that!

The KR YZR500 is featured in the latest Practical Sportsbike magazine.

Hi Wolfgang,

Your GT750 project looks superb.

The KR YZR looks a superb special - really love it - however it is definitely NOT better looking than your Marlboro YZR - it is just different. One thing is certain - the quality of the KR could not exceed your Marlboro YZR - it could only equal it - but only a close up look would tell us.

Lets hope the builder of the KR is on this forum and he shows us the details and build of his bike - lovely to see something new and different.

Cheers
Paul
