  • To all Motorcycle girls and guys but especially SR500 Lovers, after 5 years of joy and pure fun, Andy has decided to go for a new project and he is selling his beautiful and loved SR 500 SS that we built for him. If you are interested, make an offer or contact us for more Details.
    Check it out! SR 500 SS was built as a homage to the BMX bike. This is an open-minded project and no style was followed! We invested many sleepless nights in that bike and we had a hell of a good time making the film, you like it? Share it!

    The Bambi Molesters - "Malaguena "

    Hello SR people! It's been 10 years since we launched this video. Many projects have been realized by Dr. Mechanik since then. As you all know, it takes a lot of time to film all the work that has been done.
    Honestly, we never thought that this bike would travel around the world and become an SR icon! I want to thank all of you who are interested in Dr. Mechanik's projects and who watch my videos!
    11 years after I built the legendary SS from the video, it's time for the most extreme SR project yet! Introducing the SR 690 SSR Supreme! Yes, it's a long name, but you can be sure this bike deserves it!
    Stay tuned, as we're sure you will love this one!

I need the harness for my 3 time magazine featured 1979 SR500 with its Hi-Per-Kinetics Stage Two 650 stroker engine. ANYBODY who knows if the harness is part of the switch, contact me here: daviddaveinternational@gmail.com You'll also get pictures of my "Poor Man's Gold Star".

      I have that 1979 SR500 with the 650 stroker engine. Without me having to scrounge up a manual, does the swing arm have grease fittings? I can't visually see any or find any by fumbling around the pivot point.

      @@Ozrico1o1 Ok, I hear you. I come from a place where distances between towns is considerable, so my English step dad tels me. So getting anywhere at a reasonable pace, was made harder when a friend of ours bought one of these, he couldn't keep up with us, sitting on 60mph. If we rode into a head wind it was much worse, he would disappear into the rearview and we would wonder if he had crashed or broken down or stopped for a coffee. One time we crossed a very high 3 km long bridge, with an exceptionally fast side wind (they have a massive wind sock on it to warn you)and his SR threatened to be blown over again and again so he slowed down to a crawl and we were obliged to do so as well. Very painfull. If you are tootling round town which I guess a cafe racer is for then it has its place. To my mind, this bike should be bored out to a 650, or retuned to have decent talk, which for a single it didn't. The closest bike l have to this is my xs650 (currently for sale ), my other 3 bikes are a 1000 or larger, but l am 95kg so l need something substantial between my legs when out on the road (apart from whats already there).
