Picked up an adventure modified ex500 recently. Front end was modified with parts from an nx250 dual sport to lengthen the forks, on top of that a progressive spring was swapped in. Unironically, the front end is pretty sweet off road. Rear is a little stiff, but it isnt horrible. Kind of at a loss on wheather to upgrade the rear shock and push it the rest of the way into adv territory, or if I should strip everything down and make it a naked sport bike. Would be more expensive and complicated to turn the bike into a naked sport bike from where its at right now than it would be to take it the rest of the way to an adv. All she really needs to cap off the transformation is a bash plate and a rear shock from like a klr or something. After that it would likely be pretty damn solid offroad, and honestly despite whats been done to it it still handles the street exceedingly well.
i love it and want to do it, but it looks like it sits way too low and weighs too much to be really worth it. guess this mod is a reason to finally get a second bike haha
Miles better than a landfill and recycling, which is the reality of where they end up at. Look on the market, these bikes sell for below 1k, you can even get them for 500 bucks and they still have low mileage below 40k km (30k miles) Any use for them is better than the scrapyard. Get back to reality, these old bikes are not treasures, they don't sell and most will never be ridden again because nobody wants them for some reason. Any use is a good use for these bikes.

Thinking of doing it to my 94 thought of it first day I bought it

Waste of a bike
Thanks for the comment and supporting our channel! We really enjoyed wasting this bike. Which bike should we waste next?
