Haus of Projects / Suzuki Titan T500
March 18, 2021, 06:54:48 PM
Whilst juggling front wheel/end options for my RD, I scooped up a decent xs650 front end for  $100! Thinking I was gonna ditch the fender and wheel, I stopped by the newly opened Mom and Pop M/C shop, to see if he wanted them. (He's working on my body's 500 triple)
We got to chatting and low and behold:

General Chatter / Kwak 500 v breathed on RD400
February 15, 2021, 12:33:27 AM
Hello, my new landlord just threw down the gauntlet, boasting that his stock (except for twin front disc) 500 triple can leave my RD400 behind in a drag race...I pointed out,I have expansion chambers and bigger carbs, he said no problem...
HIs is a 450 lb bike, and he weighs 20lbs more, so, (decent launch aside),
what are my odds?
Thanks for any input, I just scored some spec 2's, prob a lot lighter than my current Bassani's...

Any idea what they are, and if they are better than Bassani's? Thanks for any help.

Haus of Projects / RD400E Special
March 19, 2019, 07:01:41 PM
As a young man, I lusted after my friend's buddy's RD400, so after collecting parts that have laid semi-dormant for too many years (had a hard time finding a motor) I ponied up and bought one! Already fairly modified, with a GSXR front end, some long expansion chambers, but was stoked he'd forgotten to mention larger carbs being fitted!
Even though I like its bare metal tank, I miss the wider, taller UK tank, and wanted to put make it my own, so
here's how I picked her up:
