Picked this 1976 GT500 up today to go with my RD400
Looks good in the photo but needs a few minor jobs to improve it.

Photos hide things.
Chap had been riding it with a missing chain adjuster bolt (see photo).
Back wheel off line has trashed chain and sprockets
Also found left cylinder manifold rubber has split

Nice one Del, that looks a fine bike. Wiltshire can't get enough of the sound of big 2-stokes IMHO .
Have fun riding it
Cheers Zunspec

Went to visit a mate of mine yesterday who is restoring a KH250.....
By pure chance - I now know where my non standard front mudguard came from..

The manifold rubber is easy to replace and with the back wheel off-line and a trashed chain/sprocket I bet you got it for a song. I see a lot of bikes with wheels out of line actually.
