75 T500 in southwest Pennsylvania
Posted: Fri Aug 12, 2011 7:19 am
Am considering cutting back on the herd. Thinking about selling my 75 T500 -- its the least correct of all the bikes & the handle bars are too hard on my back.
The T500 has 15.5k miles and has been modified a bit. Has 1974 color scheme. Cafe handlebar & bar-end mirrors. Crankcase, cylinder & brake drums are painted black.
Bought it earlier this year from a forum member. Have put on around 120 miles. Starts & runs ok. Have only ridden it locally, so I haven't gone any faster than around 50 mph. Looks reasonably good but the left muffler is dented near the side stand.
Mods I've done:
Rex Caunt coils -- one of the original coils was cracked
Tympanium regulator/rectifier
maintaince free AGM battery
grips & bar end mirrors
45/45w H4 headlight, but I'm thinking about keeping it and reinstalling the original headlight
had a tear in the seat cover & the seat is currently at a shop getting a new Pit Replica seat cover fitted
Todo:
Repair or replace the side stand. Its bent & causes the bike to lean over further when on the stand.
Current pic without the seat, which is getting a new cover fitted: Muffler dent: Pic of bike as I got it with the torn seat cover:
