CC - I will have the wifey record my test run and videos will def be posted.
Bernd - The GS500 is supposed to put out 52HP, on top of that I have a slip on exhaust, K&N filter, and big jets.
Ralph - Im still waiting on you to come over to Flat Rock. If you do Id be glad to let you have a ride. And the strap you speak of are wrist restraints and I looked into them, But just google "wrist restraints" and see what comes up lol. One of the Aussie guys posted that he had a roll over. The first roll he was fine I think, the second one he burnt,cut, and broke his arm bad. I do have the habit in the few times I have wrecked things to lock my arms. I know this is not necessarily a good habit and cant be depended on but.....

So I did as you said...... What's wrong with these?
I had to go through 6 websites to find this pic! The things a man has to do for a joke ::) :lol: (I'll prob' delete these after a short while!??)
Still..... I think a bungee (other big bits of elastic are available I assume?) would allow a lot of freedom but still keep your arms safe.
Well... It's your ride and you do as all of us would..... Your own way :ddb:
I'm quite looking forward to the video on this one :)

LOL Man Ralph those are all me right there. :lol:
The wrist restraints that I looked at mount to cam buckle on my harness. From what I have read they really are a must on race vehicles and buggies. I really dont like the idea too much but I will wind up getting a set in the future. It seems a bit scary having my wrist held in place but after hearing about the aussie guys wreck I think its worth it.
If anyone has experiance with the chime in please.

Ok fellas, Im am rounding third now I believe.
I fitted the skid plate this weekend, then removed it, then refitted it,
Then removed it, well I think you get the point. It is finally on for good.
Well until its time to paint.
I also made the dash and fitted the tach into the dash.
Plus I got the bonnet made. It came out ok but was a PITA. I hae a small brake press but the 1/8"
aluminum was a bit much for it to bend. So plan B was the work bench and a big rubber mallet.
And I mounted the rear brake light along with a plate for the winch to mount to.
Next is wiring and plumbing for fuel and I am ready to test drive.

Looking better every time we see it Tim.
You really have done a good job on that machine.
It makes my shoulders sag thinking about what I am missing because my age is getting in the way.
Bogs.
