Just got here:

The titan was a steal at $500, the 19" spoked wheel will work, and w a Ducati caliper, she'll stop way faster than the drum. I can prob get some $ for the front end, chrome etc, so that'll help keep costs low. Im stoked it'll have spokes and non standard bodywork, kinda the opposite of my RD.
Any thoughts/advice greatly appreciated. Bike should be delivered ths Saturday!

Not my beer.
I spy clip ons tho, wonder if it/she has any other upgrades. no title, but BOS should be fine.
I do have a tank and seat not doing anything:

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:

Hi, my landlord has a pretty stock 500 K'wak triple( has pipes and dual discs), I've a restomod RD400,(Spec 2's and bigger carbs, gsxr front) and was wondering about a Suzuki t500 titan, can it be made to keep up?
I just picked up this for $500:

Scored this steering stabilizer for $30:

If I pop the Daytona wheel on, how about this rotor?

Some so-so brazing repair, it's the inside, so no biggie.

The Spec2 pipes came, they have spigots and some character... I also picked up a new petcock and fuel lines, so hopefully this week we'll fire her up!

Shipping is delayed 'til the 22nd.
Some good news tho, my buddy's gonna help me steering stops, for beers and some shop labor!
It turns out, he's also good friends with a talented two stroke tuner, so may get him to cc and sort squish on on my head, you know, for manners

Thanks.

No, but I'm sure Gary can sort me out some.

It'll be a little time before we get to it, but I'm pretty excited, and will get it filmed, for sure!

Yep, w' 29 other people watching, I figure I'd take the gamble!

They are already into  trading my Stella for some rent, funnily enough!
