Not mine. Don’t usually check out CL parts, but I found a few interesting items yesterday.
Not sure if these are early T500 carbs -- they don't look like later-model carbs.

Not really sure *what* they are (well, they are round slide Mikuni).
No external vent, so would likely be early '70s. Manifolds shown would be post '73 (early didn't have the separate boot and 2 hose clamps).
I'd pass.

Ian has pics of the early T500 carbs on his website:

Click on one of his carb pics. You can then scroll through his 10 pics.
The carbs look like the ones in Ian’s pics. His pics show where the # is stamped, so it should be easy to confirm with the seller.

Then they would be '68 carbs. Not many of those first year bikes left.
