Awesome Biggy D...simply awesome!!!!
So, you gonna give us a tally as to how much this transformation ended up being? Not that you can put a price on happiness![]()
I did not want to share this information... but since you asked...
PLEASE keep in mind this includes custom suspension revalve+respring+shipping. I changed 100% bearings, 100% seals, 100% wear components. This bike had 20 years of wear and tear. It should last another 20 years NO problem.
I consider this motorcycle to be "ZERO HOURED" or "NEW OLD STOCK."

What do you think about that? Over 8 months, it didn't really effect my wallet dramatically.
I could have saved the cash and bought a more modern bike, but it would have had wear and tear of it's own, and I'd still have to get the suspension done. I don't think there was another choice but to overhaul the 1993 WR500!
