Fuels perfectly, pulls HARD! Now to get it inspected and registered and get on it!!

Very nice.

Love it! A good friend of mine had that exact same model back in late 70's/ early 80's. We rode a lot together- me on a 72 Kaw H2 Triple. Looking at your pic sure brings back a lot of memories. Enjoy!

What a nice practical classic. I like that you have sympathetically restored it without losing its character.

Love it. Enjoy.
If you stroke it more than twice; you're playing with it.

Too many bikes, too much time, ENOUGH SPACE, FINALLY! Never enough money.........

I love the T500! This is a beautiful classic, and you did a great job not to over-restore it. Thanks for sharing
