Nice! And cool truck also.

Thanks man. The truck is my 72 Ford f100.

Im excited about the bike. Been wanting another cool project. Im wanting to do a build similar in style to the attatched pic.

Get an oil cooler asap, and you'll be good. I'm sure you know, but they had a tendency to overheat and crack heads. I just remember getting the same advice when I had mine. Awesome scoot man!

That was my first street bike! Loved it and always really liked that color. Have fun with it.

I've had a couple of these, they're a lot of fun. Here's a forum you're going to want to join: http://xs500.proboards.com/index.cgi

Thanks guys. Yeah, I think I will enjoy this bike. All I am used to as far as power is my CL350 and the CB360 I just sold. So this shouldl be fun. I drove it down the street when I got it home. It was running rough and I didn't like how things sounded. Started to tear it down today. There was maybe a quart of oil in it when I drained it. All engine gaskets have been replaced with black RTV....

Here is a pick a day after getting it.

Cool stuff. I love that truck.

I would be damn excited too... I love the inspiration bike as well.

Awesome. I just bought the same bike (model/year/colour). Keep us updated with the build. It'll be my first build. I could use some advice, inspiration, warnings. Anything will help. Good luck to you man.

Cheers
