Hey! What's all the noise in here?? :ohmy: ;)

Oh, another roundy round guy. Welcome RydeMyToy.

Those old 500's are great bikes. Are you running the stock frame? If so, try to find one of the aftermarket swingarms for it. They add about 1 1/2" to the length and make the stock frame handle a lot better,

Good luck and have fun. :cool:

Hey all.
Yes It is a stock frame. It handles alot better than my TT500 did. I also run TT's and Ice Race. Want too talk about away to ride WOW realy is alot of fun. Who made the longer swing arm?
The only time It is hard to handle is when the entrance of the turns get rutted, Wants to hi side me.
That happened at the last race and i got on the gas and spun out. Only last 2 places in the race though. It's all fun has long has you can got up and keep riding.
