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

Congrats on a job well done. :up:

The rivet counters would hate my T500 even more. Its a 1975 with 1974 paint & decals.

Nice 500, but then, anything done in Yorkshire should be good!
