Thought you might be interested in looking at a very nice Honda XR500 rebuilt to be a desert bike.

It is a rarer one too I have an 82 model xr500 but the twinshocks in Australia are pretty rare maybe not so much in the US though it does look good. :)

Yeah the twinshock XR's were here in '79/'80 and were fairly rare.
