Got this T500 about a year ago, I think I posted some photos back then. Here it is a year later. I was not working toward a 100% concours restoration, instead toward a (hopefully) nice, clean looking original bike with some honest patina. Going to take it to Barbers next month. Here's some pics taken today. Hope you all like them.

Very nice indeed. Just the right level of finish. Doesn't look like a trailer princess.
Cheers
