Re: Finally!!
Very nice.
Think of how stupid the average person is, then realise that half of them are more stupid than that.

Re: Finally!!
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!

Re: Finally!!
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.

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