Nice looking project Jim.
I've just completed one for a customer and have another on the go. It's great to give them a new lease of life instead of breaking for parts. Well Done!

Re: 1987 mt500 rebuild
hi everyone have been doing some more work to my mt500 slowly but have got the frame and a few bits cleaned and painted have been hit by a very nasty virus so have not been able to do much itching to get back to it, when you strip these bikes right done there seems to be hundreds of bits all in need of tlc all the best jim
