Thinking about this XT500 custom

Been Around the Block
I've got a chance to trade several non-running projects for this mechanically sorted and street titled xt500.




I've ridden my sr500 around a bit before digging into the project but I wanted to know what a street ridden xt is like.

Thanks
 
I can't see the pic in the link, but I still have my XT that was my daily rider:

I just put a set of street tyres on it and it was a hoot to ride......the milk crate was handy too... ::)
 
I can see it now.

Not sure if the rear hoop on thet frame has been modified, but I think it's stock - just with a different seat.

Front end is different, rear guard has been chopped, but other than that the rest looks stock.

I'd imagine if it's had an engine rebuild and it's otherwise sound it would probably be a neat bike to ride.
 
Thanks, I'm 5' 11" and 175lbs and feel fine on the SR. I was wondering about the street ability of the lighter flywheel and gearing.
