Not all Yamaha XT500’s are destined to become flat track racers or street trackers.
I race this bike with the local vintage MX club here in North Texas. http://www.tvrc.org

beautifull! I am redoing one myself too. What year is the front fender? also the rear shocks you have on it what brand are they? Thanks, John
The fenders are UFO universal fenders. The shocks are Progressive Suspension Series 13 15.75″ shocks w/HD springs. Since these pics, I purchased and mounted a Pro-Fab swingarm. That was the best suspension mod to date. I am still loving the motor.
