UK's 3rd CRF500L 2021......

Post by flipflopdog »

Looking to get the third CRF500L built in the first half of 2021. The same guy who built mine has now been commissioned to complete the build. Scutty has the lean and stunning 1st one built. Mine has been thrashed with the overlanding stick. this one will be a compromise with travel in mind as well as performance...!!! Watch this space.....

How much does that safari tank hold?

Good luck with the build :)

Watching.
Open your eyes and you see what is in front of you, open your mind and you see a bigger picture but open your heart and you see a whole new World.

Coming along nicely. Love it. I do like a well-crafted 'special'.

How different is the weight of the 500 engine compared to the 250?

Looking really good. I'm liking the James Bond style flip-up number plate.

So once you've added and subtracted various parts, what do you reckon it'll weigh in the end?
