RG 500 Gamma

Evolution of Gammagir1′s RG400 Gamma This is what
they looked like when I bought my two RG400 Gamma’s

From Adjustment Tech in Omemee, Ontario..these bikes were imported from Japan

The bonus of Japanese chassis’s are: Fuel guage on the clocks, “pass” button
on control pod that flashes headlight to signal a pass, on-off switch on pods
to turn off headlight, integrated front turn signals

Clean her up a bit and look how much better she can look!

Strip it right down to the bare frame, clean every part,
spacer, nut, bolt

in the parts washer you see below the wall calendar

Here’s the 400 motor I got from Australia..and getting ready
to take the forks completely apart

Install the newly cleaned and greased swingarm and linkage,
front pegs and triple clamps

Pretty little SRX600 beside the Gamma, eh? Forks have
been completely cleaned, greased, rebuilt and new fork oil added

Headlight cage and clip ons intalled, new fork seals,

steering head bearings and wheel bearings installed

Rear pegs, brake arm and rims installed (will replace with
Katana 600 rims in winter)

Every bolt on the bike prepared with locktite or

anti-seize before installation, every single pivot point or axle greased

Yeehhaa the motor is in!  Rear shock installed too

Brand new Nikon upper pipes loosely fitted on

Doesn’t she look sweet???

Brand new lower Nikon Pipes fitted

One more day and she’ll be fired up!

Header wrap on the pipes

Cleaned up and sparkling!

More pics to come tomorrow!  She should be running tomorrow night.
