Recently I aquired a 1974 TX500 from a friend with 3 of them. I had to do a motor swap right away because the plugs on the original motor (with 9800 miles! ) broke off flush with the head. The new motor came out of the third bike (He is building a cafe out of his) and it has 24,000 miles on it...

yeah they are orignal so yeah i thought about that as well, but just to clarify more i was having this problem and pulled into a parking lot for about 2 minutes and when i pulled out on to the road it ran fine for about 2 blocks and then started doing it again, but i will defintley try some coil...

74 yamaha tx500, runs great at idle and when first riding as it warms up the right cylinder seems to cut out and in turn creates a jerking motion while riding, it has points ignition, my buddy thinks it's in need of points and condensors seeing it's orignal but i think it's something else...

yep i thought it was a great movie Sir Anthony did the part justice

all black impact mechanix gloves everytime

that sucks you had to sell her off so soon i hate it when that happens, but it was a good lookn' bike.

yes!!!! thats what it needed HAHAHA!!!!

i really like the paint color is it a factory blue or aftermarket. good job on the build looks really well done.

hope all goes well chippewa's arent cheap, i always were my pf flyer sneakers... yeah i know you can save it ok saftey stacies LOL.

looking good, keep it up, like the tank should look pretty good when done

here's my 2cents being 5'9 and festivley plump i find stock peg location and clubmans very comfy, but each rider has personel perefrence, thats the great thing about building a custom of any terminology ie cafe, bobber, chopper, you build for you and then it's always comfortable.

that was entertaining to say the least thanks i needed that

i vote for funjimmys CB550 very nice clean looking bike good job dude

do you still have the pipe, if so price?
