Poldark Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 I brought home a T500 engine. It was discount priced due to being locked up. After much penetrating oil, torch, and agitation, I got the barrels and pistons apart. I think it was ran without oil. No photos to post at the moment, just a tired fifty year old engine. A bike will be built around it. Something just seem cool about the idea of riding a fifty year old motorcycle. Quote Link to comment

rodneya Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 Yup, I have a 1973 RD 350. Its almost as old as me. Great fun bike to ride, but it has had a lot of modern upgrades. Quote Link to comment

TonyGee Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 Ive rode a few T and GT 500's they are great bikes, quite a bit of low down torque for a two stroke. almost feel like a four stroke. Quote Link to comment
Poldark Posted May 16, 2021 Author Share Posted May 16, 2021 I'll post photos when I get a frame and can create a vision of what the final product might look like. Right now it's just an old engine with some parts pulled off. Quote Link to comment
