Boss Yamaha TT500 For Sale

For sale on UK eBay. Up for £2995 or offers. Don't know anything about the history of this machine and we're not selling or linked to the seller, just putting it out there as it looks like a possible DTRA Vintage or Thunderbike racer. Pretty surprised
There are more photos at Boss Frame Yamaha TT500.
Thanks to Kev H for the tip-off.

    That is not a Boss. It looks like a Kenny Roberts frame. But I know for a fact that it is not a Boss.

    This is a KR flat track chassis circa 1977. Identifiers are the central 2.5” vertical tube and the fibreglass seat base with the duck tail. These built for the 500 Yamaha motor are rare. There was around 35 built for the Penton Flat Track race effort using the 250 & 400 Sach motor of the day. 30 were serialized with a vertices KRP and a horizontal 001 to 030. The spare frames had no stamp.
