beek Posted October 17, 2008 Report Posted October 17, 2008 Like it apart from the seat as it doesnt go with the rest of the bike. apart from that very good i wondered how long it would be before some one used a r1 or r6 chassis the engine looks like it goes in nice is she running
nzknut Posted October 17, 2008 Report Posted October 17, 2008 pretty looking bike! what paint are you going for? standard RD500LC paint would be sweet. Good to see old stroker's living on!
Monkey Posted October 17, 2008 Report Posted October 17, 2008 Ooh, ya beauty. More please! I'll be following this thread with interest :D
fredie Posted October 17, 2008 Report Posted October 17, 2008 this is very nice work . i love it baby . oohh yer baby
snetterton88 Posted October 17, 2008 Report Posted October 17, 2008 Looks as if it was all meant to be! Marlboro colours would be good,will follow progress with interest.
gnarly Posted October 17, 2008 Report Posted October 17, 2008 Looks fantastic with her clothes off Are the top two spannies crossed over like on the standard bike or are they routed straight through?
Bat Fastard Posted October 17, 2008 Report Posted October 17, 2008 Well cool. Me like very much. I would love to build something like that. 500cc V4 2 stroke, mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. bet it sounds nice?? Reminds me of the days of Doohan, Rainey and Schwantz.
nuttytart Posted October 19, 2008 Report Posted October 19, 2008 Nice one Vortex ... that looks the biz ... U might find that seat a little steep to live with - throwing a lot of weight onto your wrists .. I had mine (RG500/GSXR) at that angle to start with n found it unbearable after 20 mins .. although I do have a weak wrist from a biking off years ago Still its easy to alter if u find the same
wavydavy Posted October 19, 2008 Report Posted October 19, 2008 500cc V4 2 stroke, mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. The jealous git in me wishes the NSRVF was that close to done. The pedant in me would point out it's not a V4 - it is a twin-crank square 4 with the pairs of cylinders offset at 90(?) degrees... Dave

The pedant in me would point out it's not a V4 - it is a twin-crank square 4 with the pairs of cylinders offset at 90(?) degrees... Dave As per the RGV500 a la Schwantz and any of the YZR500s..... They were always classed as V4s Dave (you pedantic sod! )!
V4 Heaven Posted December 20, 2008 Report Posted December 20, 2008 Nice! What's the chassis make/model etc? Yam R6?
Spike16 Posted December 29, 2008 Report Posted December 29, 2008 that bike is pure filth! i want it! and im not a stroke guy (am a v4 guy tho )

The pedant in me would point out it's not a V4 - it is a twin-crank square 4 with the pairs of cylinders offset at 90(?) degrees... Dave Just to be truly pedantic, the Suzuki RG500 was a square 4; the RD500 is effectively 2 x parallel twins bolted together, one behind the other.

[pedant hat, anorak and wellies on] Which is a square 4 - look at the cranks/conrod positions from above - the RG and RD both have a 2x2 'square' arrangement of 2 parallel twins bolted together, one behind the other - the difference is that the front pair of pistons on the RD move in a different direction to the rear pair. Bt the cranks work exactly the same. [/ph,aaw] Dave
V4 Heaven Posted January 1, 2009 Report Posted January 1, 2009 Nah, it's definitely a V4 cos there's room to put jacket potatoes in the space between the V on long runs.
buster Posted January 2, 2009 Report Posted January 2, 2009 Thats bloody gorgeous, Red and White speedblock colours imho would look great
Gary Posted November 3, 2009 Report Posted November 3, 2009 Can you put some more pictures up of the actual engine mounts? I have just started putting an RG500 engine into an 08 R6 chassis and would be interested in seeing how you mounted the engine and how the rear exhausts pass through the frame? I am about to have my first (probably of many) attempts at making the engine mounting plates.. I will also need to get an offset front sprocket as I have mounted the RG engine centrally and the much larger R6 rear wheel will require an offset front sprocket!! Anyone know where to get one? Gary

monkeyfumi Posted November 10, 2009 Report Posted November 10, 2009 It's an Australian bike, and was recently featured in Australian Motorcycle News. A couple of issues later, they even said the guy was contmeplating a small production run. Conveniently, I can't find that particular issue, but when it does surface I'll get more details. Oh, and it ended up painted white with red speedblocks.
