    Description

    Up for sale is a vintage Honda FT500 thumper racebike, suitable for AHRMA/WERA Racing. Action shot and driveway picture with "hardware earned" is from previous owner, other pictures are current.  Per the previous owner, here a list of what has been done to the bike"
    Front end is 1998 CBR600F3 us 10weight fork oil set at 100mm from the top with know spring and fork tub compressed
    Rear shock is a Penske triple adjust with an 1100lb spring and custom valve stack
    Rear swing arm is a CBR600F3
    Rear Wheel is an CBR600F2 (4.5") and Front is CBR600F3 (3.5")-Front end is said to be off ex Ben Bostrom AMA racebike
    Engine is a 1980 XR500R
    95mm Wiseco Piston
    Valves are Kibble White black diamond 1mm over stock
    Mega Cycle roller bearing cam with R&D springs and titanium caps, keepers and titanium rocker arm nuts
    The cam is the biggest and badest that they make, part number 144-21 spec .435" intake and exhaust, 288 degree duration, adjust them at .005" intake and exhaust
    Cam is degreed to open at 34 Degree's before TDC at .040" lift with 0 valve lash

    Exhaust is stainless steel header and the pipe is a cut down 1098R Ducati Termignoni
    The engine oil that is in there is Red Line 20/50, I changed it after every race weekend because it is cheap and engines are not.
    The fly wheel has been cut and lightened for better RPM's
    Bike comes with rear stand, stock Honda FT500 engine (internal condition unknown), spare bottom end and a few additional parts which I will inventory and update in the listing shortly.  Per previous owner, engine was freshened before I acquired the bike and is currently in the same state as purchased, stored indoors. I had Ascots back in the day, this bike is like no other Ascot I have seen race in AHRMA/WERA, the bike really rips. Bike will need a light commissioning prior to use, i.e. fluid changes and minimal preparation/check-over.  Buyer is welcome to pick up bike and spared locally and is responsible for all shipping arrangements for bike and spares; of course I will be available to have bike picked up. Buyer is also responsible for determining if the bike is currently configured for the rules/regulations/classes of a particular racing organization. Total mileage is unknown, I had put something in the eBay listing.  Buyer also accepts this is a race bike, not titled, no warranties expressed or implied, will be sold on bill of sale.  No starter, will need to be started on rollers. Questions welcomed.
