Cafe Racer Yamaha XT 500

In 1977 I bought this little XT brand new at a Yamaha dealer in London. Drove it all over Europe. Turned it into to a bobber in 1980 and later shipped to Nor-Cal. It was rebuilt and became a dirt bike with Preston Petty tank and fender and all the goodies from White Bros. This year Jennifer from the Werkstatt in the City turned it into a little go-fast Café Racer.

Hi!

I'm trying to convert my xt 500 in cafe racer too!

You might help me...

Have you modified the fork or the shock absorbers?

I drove a old xt 500 and i loved its engine (and the entire bike as Yamaha done, in truely) but i'd like a Cafè version of it.
