Beautiful machine you have there. Hardly looks as though it needs restoring. Kev

Re: T500L
Very nice let me know when you're ready to sell, cos I've got £2000 burning a hole in my pocket
Seriously though it's a stunner and shouldn't take too much effort or cash to get it to perfection.
What's with the gold engine covers though? and what's the blue beast in the background?

Look, my paintwork hasn't got "Fish scales" they're "Dragon scales" right!!! However, after some thought, I will accept "Black Marlin" or "Swordfish", but definitely not "Haddock" or "Cod".

Just polish the cases they come up like chrome. The exhausts on my bike above are the ones from Marcel in Holland they are superb fit perfectly and sound exactly the same as the standard ones

Re: T500L
Hi Paul
the top crank case is also painted gold so i’m going to split them and have them ceramic cleaned, makes a lovely job as on my gt 750. This is my last restoration so no expense being spared. pleased the exhaust gets a thumbs up
