Sweet ride. What dash is that? Is the suspension FZR?

Hi Pstamper the clocks are from aprilia rs 250 from 98 . Forks are too from the same bike and year with longer springs .

Is it a Pferrer seat unit on the bike?
If so, what do you think of it?
I'm thinking of getting one of those for one of my bikes.

I'm always amazed of how much our bikes are transformed esthetically with a little help of beefier forks and modern wheels.

Mats , nice to see you back in Bike cult . You are spot on, its a Pferrer singe seat cowl and is top quality . The securing holes match perfectly and the duct for exhaust pipes are a perfect match for JL or Stock ones but if you use Jolly Motto as I do then you will need to open it by 2 mm in diameter .
I always liked the RD500 over any of the 400's or 500's because of its beauty and potential to be even more . Engine with a little investment could be a match for the RG Bargy .
Regards
Sam

Thanks for the info Sam. Will probably order one soon.

It will have to wait a little while though, I just happened to buy a RS250 instead, so now I have a copy of your two wheeled vehicle park. :)
...even if only one the 500s is running. Still collecting parts for the YZR-wannabe.
