YAMAHA SR500 RAT

This SR500 is a bare bones brawler. The goal of this build was to have something fun and reliable that I could rip around on and not worry about getting dirty. Don't be fooled by the patina, this is a pure spirited cafe racer with subtle quality woven throughout. If you look closely, you'll find details like the DRZ supermoto wheels, CBR929 front end, hand TIG'd stainless shorty exhaust (surprisingly quiet), 70's Triumph seat, Aris vintage headlight and Mikuni VM36 tuned for easy 1st kick starts every time.
