As the story goes, at teenage years, he fall into love with the newly launched T500. Since he couldn't afford the bike, he just ordered the tail light at local Suzuki dealer. For him, the dog bone tail light symbolized T500's character the best. So he had the tail light laying in the cupboard in the living room over 4 decades. He just unwrapped it from time to time for creating himself positive emotions.
Hahaha. Classic! That's hilarious. Was he planning on buying the whole bike one part at a time.

1972 was the only year with side reflectors built in.I took mine out and put LEDs in so they flash with the indicators.
