My new MT
My new MT
Finally got around to taking some pictures.
Looks like I need to do some work to get it together, but I did buy some odds and ends for it already.
First a tool tube for the right hand side.
Then a little bit of extra luggage up front. Fender bag by Tusk, this is nice and cheap and comes with two tire irons. On top of the headlight shroud is a "dirt-bike-gear" number plate bag, uses an abundance of straps to mount which is why I picked it over the other brands that use just 3. On the handlebars is a "moto-cooler" from ebay, I can fit a 1L bottle of water in there or use it as a regular handlebar bag.

Great pics
I have been looking for a side pic of the 500e frame, Thanks!
Tool box, tool tube, neumerous strap on bags - Are you hoping to breakdown?

Re: My new MT
No but I do take long trips where I am on my own if anything were to happen. On the MT I won't be going as far as on some of my other bikes but it's nice to be prepared. People laugh at my tool kit but I have had to use it more than once....for those same people.woodruff wrote:Great pics

By the way, that tool tube would be reserved for carrying a 1L fuel bottle.
The number plate bag for odds and ends that would normally go in a tankbag.
What did you want to see on the side of a 500e frame?

Re: My new MT
your 500e bikes dont come with side crash bars or a centre stand/tensioner. I was wanting to see if there were mounting points present for them or if the frame was identical otherwise to ours....
A picture of the bottom of the frame (where centre stand would mount) and swing arm would be great

You CAN mount a centerstand to the 500e, also the side crash bars DO come with it....if the bike happened to come with the panniers and gun case.

A pic of the drive side/right of the swing arm would be great and the bottom of the frame.

Re: My new MT
I got the tool tubes from a company called agrisupply here in the US. However what it truly is is an operators manual cannister for a John Deere tractor. I have two of these and two 4" ones, those hold a 2L bottle of soda perfectly. Yes they are fully waterproof.bth2bth2 wrote:tool tube looks neat.may i ask where you obtained it? i take it its waterproof?

Re: My new MT
Thanks, it's apart because for some reason it's running WAY too hot. The headers turn cherry red and the bike will not idle unless it's on choke. Also, I melted my front fender because of itjaffa1963 wrote:Cracking looking bike. Good on ya mate
