Pics of the T500 I just rolled out

Now don't look too hard, there is lots that is not correct but I just wanted to get it sort of finished and running for this season and do more cosmetic work next winter. The chrome is not in as good as it looks here but it's passable. This is the best of 4 parts bikes,
the frame, engine and electricals are from a 75 for which I had the ownership papers for.
The best of the other 3 bikes was a 1970 so I used most of it's best pieces to replace the rusted out stuff on the 75. The tank rack and parcel rack were made by Johnakay from this forum, thank you John, they fit beautifully. I have the decals but the more I look at it the more I like clean look. This is the first 2 stroke bike I have restored and I can't wait to get it on the road, my older brother had a 72 T500 when I was 12 so these bikes are pretty special to me. A big thanks to all you guys who put up with my questions, hope I can return the favor. Here she is.
