After 15 years of ownership, almost 10 years in the making, and 2 years of indecision, it is time to part with my favorite toy, my 1986 Suzuki RG500 Gamma. What you see in the pictures is the result of almost 10 years of evolution. Professional help was enlisted for the engine, suspension, and paint. I performed all other assembly.The motor is a fresh Lance Gamma rebuild with approx. 500 miles since rebuild. The carbs have been bored. The intake trunks have been removed in favor of the Lance Gamma air filters shown. The pipes are Jolly Moto GP style that have been Ceramic coated in black. The trans is factory with all the factory offered upgrades. The clutch is new. The front forks/wheel/brake are RGV 250. The forks are inverted, tuned by Max/Traxxion Dynamics. The front fairing is factory RGV250 modified to fit the RG500 frame. The mirrors and fairing stay are RGV250. The rear seat unit is for a RC45 narrowed in the seat area to fit the RG500 frame. The seat is a one of custom piece, made by Corbin to fit this bike. The body work decals were supplied by Morgan Graphics in the UK. The custom paint is numerous coats of color with numerous coats of clear coat applied over the decals. The swing arm has a top brace fabricated from 1” square alum tubing with square tubing gussets. The swing arm was brush finished and clear powdercoat applied. The rear hugger is from a Ducati M900 The rear shock is a Penske fully adjustable unit built for the RG500.
