Almost there
Hi
My name is Richard I have been viewing this forum for sometime now
I posted way back when I first bought my T500 with the intention of a rebuild / restoration.
Well I'm almost there so thought I would post some photos of before and after
The original bike was a 1975 M but I have used a 1972j frame and hope to register it as such.
I appreciate the paint in not an exact match but I like it and I thought the original 72 model Candy Vedoro Green was a bit dull and hard to match. So rivet counters look away!
Thanks for looking

Re: Almost there
Congrats on a job well done.
The rivet counters would hate my T500 even more. Its a 1975 with 1974 paint & decals.

Re: Almost there
Nice 500, but then, anything done in Yorkshire should be good!
Think of how stupid the average person is, then realise that half of them are more stupid than that.
