That's pretty dammned nice..you don't see many conversions that look good on a clean vintage bike,usually there all butchered up...that looks unmolested and in great condition. Are those old Dencos? a friend of mine bought sets of Lomas stainless pipes for his 500 & 750..but they look different that what you have...but OH GOD! do they ever sound incredible. And the color,for me is the best triple color ever ,some like the Purple People Eater...but the BIG GREEEN MEANIE,has always been my favorite.

You do know...you have the best sounding 2 stroke of all...no TZ 500/750,RZ500,Gamma etc...even comes close to the sound of a triple with pipes. You will have to post a video of it at idle for members on this forum,so that they can listen to what I'm talking about...no reving and throttle blipping...just the sweet sound idling with the intermittent cylinder firing....sweet sound...the best ever...and never again :smt023

Now don't forget the video and idling sound... :smt002

Not too shabby for a "Green" bike :smt003

Rode one back in the day, in stock form it was a scarey bike, would go like hell!!! The only little issues were stopping and turning, looks like you've got that covered :smt023

Thank you all for the positive comments. The bike has to run a GPS speedo as the front end has no speedo drive. The swingarm and forks are from a GSXR750 Suzuki and fit in well. The bike now stops on a dime and handles like a modern bike, although it does turn in a little slower with the fat tyres and not the orig razor blades. The pipes are in fact English Denco stainless and sound sweet with a great bark when you feed the juice in.
The only thing I need to work on is the ride height, as its a little low with my fat arse and scrapes the side stand when I tip in a little harsh on the left handers.
