I’m a sucker for a great deal. I just picked up Tarmos 1984 XR500R for a song. He snapped his leg on it last year and wants nothing to do with it. I quit riding off road bikes a long time ago but this ride is begging to be a supermoto. I’ll try to post some pics this week and keep updating as progress continues. Here’s what I have in mind:
Tarmo put less than 5 hours on the new engine so I’m running it like it is. It rips!
CR 500 inverted forks and clamps.
Oversize rotors
17” x 4.25” 36 spoke rims with Michelin tires
CR 500 rear wheel and brakes. Drums have no use on the road.
Acerbis supermoto front and rear fenders.
Acerbis front light.
Harley Davidson Horn!!!!!
100watt lighting coil.
Should be a fun project and I’m sure it will open a few new doors.
Stay tuned.
