 I took this set of photos in Spring '99 while I had the SR "stripped down" getting ready for the LDRiders KC Steak run in May.

I hadn't seen it sans windshield and rack in a while...so I captured the moment.  What you see here is a pretty stock looking SR, only real visual changes are the lower-than-stock handlebars and the aluminum side covers.

SR500 Slimmed
 Very stock-looking in this photo...low and lean

SR 500 Sans Gear
 Front view with fill-in flash lit up the turn signals and made it look like it's wheelstanding
SR500 Slimmed Rear view
 Rear view shows the SR is a narrow bike for sure

SR500 Left Side
 Engine detail...also close-up of new aluminum sidecovers...polish, polish
