Palhegyi Design Star Bolt

Palhegyi Design was invited for the Star Bolt custom build-off.
There's not a lot of information to be found about this stunning bike but it's easy to notice that they  radically changed the frame with a new mono shock. The frame is wrapped much tighter around the engine and they cut out the angled down tubes in front of the frame giving it a cleaner look. The 19” dirt track wheels, a modified dirt track tail section, and a two-inch chopped tank clearly are inspired by King Kenny's 1975 TZ750 Yamaha dirt tracker.
I think it's a winner. Let's hope Star/Yamaha get's inspired to build a street tracker bike very soon.

Beautifull XT500 from Holland -The Quarter Mile

Bubble mail:

"Hi Lennard,

Thanks for the blog, I check it every day for my daily dose of cool bikes. Hope to find my own bike there one of these days ;-)

Over the past two years I have rebuilt my XT500, and last week I was finally at the point where I could make the first test run. It is still very uncomfortable, but a lot of fun to ride.

Not a lot is standard anymore: I swapped the front end (SR forks, TZ750 wheel, FZR disk, LTD440 calliper), made a new wiring loom and voltage regulator (no battery needed anymore), homebrewed exhaust, peg mounting plates, new rear brake mechanism, headlight frame, K180 loops, modified and delugged frame, have rebuilt the engine and probably more that I can't remember at the moment. This winter I finished the bike and had the tank and seat painted by Custom Painting Holland in Amerongen. They did a great job!

Inspired by the famous XR750, this is my little flat tracker. As a reference to the flat track scene, I named it the Quarter Mile. Hope you like it.

Cheers,
Erik"

A stock XT500 is already a very good looking bike 
Now look at this sweet thing
This is probably the best looking XT500 In the Netherlands right now, what a cool build.
It screams LETS RIDE
Great looking exhaust
Like the paint job very much 
The handle bar, tachometer, headlight combination is PERFECT!
I have to see this bike with my own eyes

There is a very, very small chance we will see this bike at Rusty Gold this year but Erik has other plans on the 5th of May.

Thanks Erik, stunning transformation, I love this bike.
