A Billy Golightly 500r frame came up for sale and I POUNCED on it.In the classified thread there was numerous requests for a build thread, so here goes. These are the only pics I have of it so far. Once I get the frame better pics and progress to come......
Here is the frame at the Mad Scientists
These were sent to me from the PO.
That is all for now.

Got the frame last week and just got it up on three wheels. Re-threaded most of the bolt holes, have a couple left to do. Also need to tweak the subframe as its bent a bit......Need to get my motor and electronics to start mock up on the pipe, carb and kicker issues.

I just put on the stocker to get it to roll around and test fit shock mount etc.....fully knowing and trusting Billys attention to detail but you just never know. I want to make it look OEM but is going to be a duner with +6 swinger. I would love inverts etc but I have so many OEM parts that to keep cost down and get it running I will use alot of the OEM parts. Then plastics is the last problem, gonna have to suck it and go OEM red and have my vinyl/designer make some very cool vinyl.Originally Posted by dcreel

Damm! Now you are makin me reconsider selling my frame.
May have to just go ahead and get in the "Big Boys" club.
I'm thinkin Black plastics with Neon Yellow Chassis components. Possibly a slightly stretched 450R rear end.
We'll see, I got some hard thinking to do.

Ill be starting a KXT500 build in 2 weeks when I get the frame off of ben6626. Ive been checking out some kx500 motors and odds and ends but got a low budget to work off of so will take some time. This 500R will be done before mine and Mr. Clean is makin great progress already. Good job and keep the pics coming!
