I was given an old XT500 when a customer of mine was clearing out his workshop.

After a bit of head scratching, a bit of time on e-bay and quite a bit of work, I ended up building this:

Nice Bagheera John.

There's an MuZ Mastiff in our garage on road wheels and tyres. What a laugh- one of biking's best kept secrets!

Indeed, commuting has become a whole lot more fun with the Bagheera.

So - sold the Turbo..... and promptly bought this.......

I regretted selling me XL500R to Paul (Bunnyz), and even though I still have an XR400R I like the "older XL"

...but as soon as I took off on this old beast XL600R - I was smiling all the way home - didn't really do that on the Turbo
