Aberg Replica HL500 #3

Out for a cruz on the Profab.
This is a profab Aberg replica.
This bike is the real deal not the copy Yamaha made in 78 & 79.
These are the facts: Aberg raced the 1977 GP on the bike built by Profab.
Soon after, (1977- 1981) Profab sold a replica frame kit.(my bike)
Yamaha decided to produce 200 HL500 in 1978 & 200 in 1979. (A copy of the profab replica)
Since then 3 or 4 builders have copied The design.
If anyone can add to this please do I would like to here from you.

Very nice, Are those Simons on the front? If so, how do the work with the bike?  I am thinking of getting a set for mine. I have a late model front end on mine that works really well, just isnt AHRMA legal.

@cblyx6 This was my first time on the bike & I was taking it easy.Plus I was riding on a flat. so I really didnt put them to the test

The forks are 79 yz 38mm (rebuilt) but a bit soft. I'll need to dial those in or I'll swap them out for a pair of 43mm I've got.. The Simons would be very cool & period correct.

Your Aberg is lookig very nice!!

I am really thinking on a pair of Simons or Fox forx to get my bike Period Correct, I plan on doing some Ahrma events and I have a set of 43mm ( I think) that cmae off of a 82 rm 465, I just really like the handling that the late model forks ( 98 RM 125 ) give. If I knew that I would get the same effect or close to the same with Simons, I would buy a set in a heart beat. I had some 38mm yz's on my bike for a while and I thought the same thing, to spoungy and really took a dive.
