Thanks for the nice comments fellas, glad you all like it, the seat unit is one of my own tommy, as is the rear hugger/mudguard, i designed the seat hump around the XBR to hopeful compliment the lines of the frame and tank together. The bike has changed slightly to the photo that Steve (very kindly) posted, the exhaust system is slightly different now as I've cut away all the lattice work on the footrest hanger and installed a neater looking silencer, no rivets on the reverse cone, still all stainless. The bike goes and sounds as good as it looks and gets plenty of attention when I go out on it. Cheers Michael

Hi all, I see every now and again, mention of a GB500TT seems to generate a lot of interest. This weekend I will attempt to re-size some pictures I have of mine, and post them for you all to peruse. It is a 1989 American model, that was brought into this country by an American serviceman who was over here for three years. He returned home ...... and left this fine example. It has done ......... 4,800 miles only, and now resides........ under my stairs...!!  I hope to get the pics up tomorrow.  Tony

Hi manxie, thanks for posting the picture,  yes it goes very well indeed. Pulls very strongly and the power does,nt drop off like a standard XBR, it,s also had a bit of mild porting and a custom inlet manifold. It is great fun to ride. Oh and can I just say, everything is always for sale  ;) ;) ;D :D. Regards Michael
