1986 Canadian Armstrong MT500 EC dispatch Motorcycle

[SteveJ]

I just finished restoring a 1986 Canadian Armstrong MT500 EC dispatch Motorcycle this winter. Its all done and on the road. And I must say that of all the single cylinder dual sport bikes Ive had over the years (4) this is one of the nicest. Its a great ride. Very rugged and stable to ride. Its only short coming is that it is heavy so i try to keep that in mind especially when all the gear is loaded. (When I was 20 this would not have been a concern. At 60 well thats different lol) I had it out at the summer skirmish event here in Calgary a couple of weeks ago where we static displayed and paraded. All in all with the panniers packed, some camo net, the radio on board, the smg in its carrier it made a real nice display.
So if anyone is doing one and needs any tech data, supplier contact, parts feel free to contact me. The last photo is a good friend testing out the bike.
