So I went to look at a 75' T500 on a whim, one kick later and I'm hooked. The bike runs really great but is going to require some changes in the looks department. TR500 airtech set ordered, and bike torn down for mock up.
I've only had the bike for a couple weeks and I'm super excited for this build as I've been dreaming of a vintage road racer since I was a kid. You guys have bee a ton help and only just found this site a short time ago.
Can anyone ID those chambers?

Others will have to speak up, but I believe those are Ocelot's. I dig the bike! I see an upgraded front brake line and some Tomaselli (sp) styled headlight brackets. I like the headlight too. Is that stock? I have dibs on that front fender if you're not going to use it. Welcome -- and definitely keep us posted

Yes, those are Ocelot chambers and a bobbed rear fender and different forks too - probably Betor. Interesting rear set mounts too.

Yes have Betor 34mm forks GT500 front brake I think. As this is becoming a full fairing road racer everything you see will be up for grabs. Very interesting rearsets indeed, very solid, 3/8" aluminum plate! The headlight is stock on some emgo brackets. Thanks for the pipe ID those will be for sale soon and there not in the best condition and I'm going to with a Swarbrick style Jemco pipes.

Nice progress, like the TR500 bodywork. Are you building for street, track, or both?
Let me know if you need another set of Rear Sets, I sell a design specifically for the T500.

I'm just building a fun weekend bike, but for sure headed to some track days!
I've got my rear sets under control, but I do need one of those nice looking shift lever adapters. If you sell them separate.
