Post by: USMC 500 on April 30, 2012, 10:32:17 AM: Define "Works".......

I'm just asking because full "Works" bikes were banned from the AMA rule book like back in 1983 or something.......Factory bikes after that were based on production machines.

Turns out he was a Works rider with Triumph in the 50's and 60's. Rough riding back then! Wife gave me crap as all's he and I did was talk motorcycles the whole time we were there. Couldn't have planned that better!

Thanks, and yes, it is a '92. I bought it a couple weeks ago - low hours and it still had the stock tires on it.

The '89 shroud decals are my favorite too. I just put an '89 tank on it last night, and I have some white UNI-TRACK swingarm stickers coming too, but I hate to take off the 92 swingarm stickers, as they are in real nice shape.

I had a really cool aluminum tank for the KX500 a few years ago, and I sold it to someone on here. I am kicking myself for doing so, and would love to get one for this bike.
