Giannis of Speed Junkies bought this 1981 SR500 from an owner who thought the bike had a transmission problem—but it just needed a clutch adjustment. After fixing that, he decided to convert the bike into a tracker, doing most of the work himself. “I didn’t spend much money, other than the flat-track seat, tail, Yamaha GT80 tank, an old Bates slip-on exhaust and some other smaller things here and there.” He did it all himself, apart from that cool retro paintjob, and a fine piece of work it is too. The old-school trailbike tank is a neat touch and the seat is minimalist perfection. How much did you sell it for, Giannis?

Crazy! I can’t even find a stock SR500 to buy, let alone a DTX job done that well.
Please, does anyone knows the name of this tires?
Please, email me with the answer.
Thank you very much!
They look like the IRC TR1 Dual Sport tires.
