We've discovered Project FT500 has been run low on oil at some point and the rockers are worn. So WE NEED
Honda FT500 rockers OR, better still, a complete FT500 head
We'd also like a good rear disc. Can anyone help us? Email dirt @ sideburnmagazine.com (take the spaces out).
Thanks

Thanks McMad, but 750 euros is about twice as much as we paid for the whole bike. This is a budget project. G

He is your man
da ya think an Head of an XLR 500 will fit to the FT?
Ive been told that XL500r parts do fit, apparently mine has one fitted i was told when i brought it (also has a 'sportier' cam with higher lift - dunno if this is true) my head certainly has a manual decomp lever fitted that the FT shouldnt have AFAIK
Jack Z, yeah, like Taelstar, I'm pretty sure they do crossover. Why, have you got some for us? G
Had a bit more of a search guys, reminded me that i'd already looked for this years ago when I got mine, and turned out mine is a FT head with a xl cam not xl500s/r head.
The ft looks like this

the s or r is a bit different

stud pattern same and should fit, needs different exhaust headers and clamps though....
This Faq will help :)

My XBR500 ran low on oil and I can't blame the previous owner... But if you want decent hop up an NX650 Dominator engine should slot in just nicely

In between changing nappies and reading stories I might actually do it myself...
