Quite an interesting hybrid, I thought.

Nice bit of green laning potential there.
This is not for now but maybe a thousand years down the line if something untowards happened.
But, if Ari, My 2017 Classic 500 had a left hand side drive chain, then I could try many different British and Japanese engines.
Yes I know there are right hand side drive other models, but....

Hi John, could it be possible just to flip the wheel and / or swingarm over, or maybe use a wheel and swingarm from one of the older Bullets, to put the drive line on the left?

Hi Paul,
This was more of a keep all options open in the future. I'm trying to do the right thing now and keep my bikes for years.
I've tended to change them, but people like you who have kept, for example your CB500T for years make me feel bad

Looks like just the ticket for a classic trial too. i could see that going up Haggs Bank.
