XT500 (1977ish) Frame
« on: April 28, 2014, 07:40:17 pm »
Hey men of two wheels,
Just finished building a gusset for a crack in the L/H lower, near the peg of my 1977 XT500, and then noticed some strange welding on the front engine mount. I ground it back and it's got a braised engine mount. Might opt out of this frame if I can get another. Give me a call on 0408271831 if you have a frame spare. Big Thanks Mark

Hi Matt,
This build is for a HL 500 style, but it will be my mode of transport on the road. Keen for a XT frame.
