    you can further reduce handlebar vibration by installing the bar dampers below or something similar . . you can also try filling the inside of the bars with lead shot if you have access to some.

    I would go with Tecate 200, that way they think you really have a 250 or 300

    No the first pipe is FMF all bent up. I forgot how much the pipe was, but there's a thread on the pipe build for the KXT500 guys. The pipe does go in like the FMF.

    I've got an analogy about your vibration concerns. Say you're overweight and have high blood pressure, you could either go on a diet and start exercising or take pills to lower your blood pressure. Obviously, the better option would be diet and exercise which would eliminate the problem, the pills only mask the symptoms. Having the crank balanced is the diet and exercise, you eliminated the problem at the source. Don't even worry about vibrations, they will be a non issue now. I'm not sure if you ran it before you built the motor but you will be shocked at the change if you did.

    Also, I have bruce's 500 decals on my machine, I could take some pics if you want to see how it looks. Let me know, don't want to steal your thread

    Yea, I'm just going to do both and go from there. I still need a few more things before putting the plastics anyway.

    Yes, the first ones I made didn't match up on the holes. So when I take the bike to the shop we are going to do the other set.

    Thanks 86T3. Man I did both frames the same color but different times and they're so different. So if you were to ever do the color I recommend doing all your parts at the same time.

    I live in Broward, but yes I ride them everywhere I can. I don't going muddling with them. I'm always at performanceatv. Let me know when you want to go for a ride. I should be ready in about a month or so. May do a few races at Monkey farm with it.

    Thats cool that you are wanting to do some racing. I like the idea of you getting to use something you have built and let the knicks and scuffs land where they may. You obviously can restore and rebuild. I saw somewhere a guy said" restore, ride, repeat - that's my motto". Excellent.
    Did you choose the year of 500 you started with or was it kind of had this one, used it. Anyway how did you pick your 500?
