    Now the big gun is almost ready. First test ride today and it went well, no problems and the bike feels quite powerful and crispy.

    Timppa,
    I gotta say, your 500 is one of the best looking bikes I've seen.
    That's one cool bike, nice work.
    Have fun riding it. Next, a picture with some mud on it!

    Now it is finished. EVO-MX high quality numberplate decals arrived today. They made these decals in co- operation with HVA- Factory and they are now in stock at EVO-MX.

    Yeah.
    I like the pipe guard with holes too. Nice added detail. I might try that on my 87 250 I'm rebuilding.

    I like that tank decal. Is that decal from EVO MX? Did EVO put your flag and name on it?

    Yes, the tank decal set is from EVO-MX. They put the Finnish flag and name to the decal without any extra cost. They don`t have this tank decal set on their web site, send them e- mail and ask it.
