Yamaha xt 500 - I think.


BIG NEWS - I got another motorcycle for FREE! It pays to do Engineering Design work for ranchers! I'm building this fellow 2 dams. I was at his ranch the other day and he gave me this Motorcycle. I'm not sure if its a 1978 or 79 or 80.. I think its a 79 and I think its a 500cc.

So I have a new project! This bike is going to shine! first major overhauls;
  • clean the collaborator (there's only 1!) my cb 550 had 4 stinking carbs
  • the handle bars need to go
  • the seat will be recovered
  • new plastic up front
  • paint
  • new break light
  • fork boots
Oh right and I have to make sure It will even run.... I love motorcycle projects

I do not know what I think is cooler...the dams, or the fact that you can rebuild anything. You are awesome.
