Modified And Titled RG500 In CA
It may not be the unmolested beauty queen you have been dreaming of but it sounds like it has some nice mods made to it. I think a proper paint job would probably do wonders.
Read on for details from the ad:
1986 RG500 with big bore kit by Rick Lance (http://www.lancegamma.com/) kit so approximately 570 cc. Chassis aligned by GMD Computrak. See link: http://www.gmd-computrack.com/This is an extremely strong running RG. I have owned three of these bikes and this is by far the strongest probably due to the big bore kit although my other ones were modified as well. This bike has Suzuki Katana wheels to accommodate larger rubber, a very common modification, as well as expansion chambers, air filter lit, EBC rotors and pads, steel braided brake lines, Fox rear clicker shock, GSXR upside down forks and a couple of other modifications that I cannot think of at the moment. The bike currently has a vintage GSXR front fairing with the dual headlights. I took these pictures prior to the installation of the side fairing pieces which will be installed prior to the sale of the bike. All this bike really needs is cosmetics to make it a show stopper besides probably adding close to $3000 in value to the bike which will only appreciate over time. I had planned on putting on all new bodywork from http://www.lancegamma.com/and having it painted in the livery of the racing RG500’s or RGV500’s of the day. In fact, I still have new in the box the full Lucky Strike decal set that was used on the Kevin Schwantz RGV500 when he raced that particular bike. If you want to get an idea of what it would look like just Google Kevin Schwantz RGV500 Lucky Strike. I also have some additional parts that come with the bike as well; some rough bodywork, gas tank, as well as a trick banana style swingarm from an RGV250. The bike is legally registered in California and it is currently in non operational status so there are no penalties for back registration. Needless to say, I also have the clear and cloud free title to the bike. I cannot describe in words what it is like to ride one of these bikes when it comes on the pipe other than to say it is a rush like no other. You really have to experience it yourself.
The seller is asking $8750 for the old square four and the bike can be found here on Craigslist.
