Wow, does still look reasonable after 80.000 miles.

8) Hi,rear indicators are wrong for this model,I don't know about headlight,,,,but I would have thought it should be painted the same colour as headlight ears ? But apart from that a nice piece of history to own ! I'm sure Ian (Oldjapanesebikes) can tell me ?
Just had a look at photos on the web...yes headlight should be painted,the seat is off a later model,should be velour cover with "button" type fasteners along the edge of the seat,missing the horn,& tyre pump,tank badges..little things to fix...I like it :D :D

Looks the same bike: http://motorcycles.smartcarguide.com/listing/38006525/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Personally, I haven't seen a T500 with that high mileage ... I own few and they were ridden to death after 30 to 35th miles.

I wonder how that 69 seat got on there, maybe its been on there shortly after the bike was bought. Those Honda indicators seem to pop up everywhere on old bikes.
Two strokes, its just that simple.
