              Isn't the headlight that's in the fairing now the original one from the bike just moved across?

              Don't say can't, as anything is possible with time and effort, but, if you don't have time things get tougher and require more effort.

                That looks nice. Good for you. Those fat head pipes always looked cool.

                  thats what i was thinkin... but the fairing has its own headlight. it is really a nice fairing. but ewww.

                  the original headlight is lost in the past somewhen.

                  i found a couple on the ebay that should fit.

                    A GS L-series headlight + rim will fit your T500 headlight bucket.
                    This gives you the option of switching to an H4 halogen headlight.

                    That's what I have on my T500. I'm using a 45/45W H4 bulb.

                      my gixxerpunk kid took the t500 for a spin today with his gf. it is really a fun little bike.

                      next step is to try to get it legal. the title is from indiana and is not from the guy i actually bought it from.

                        the t500 is on the road. legally registered in NY state. it definitely helps to know someone at the dmv office.

                        i think it reminds me of my first bike, a 72 kz400, or maybe that is just an acid flashback.



                        by the way, this is what a gixxer1k looks like after hitting a deer at god knows how what speed:



                        poor kid, lucky to be alive but this is his 4th bike/deer crash. yeah, i got the midnight call, again.....

                          Your kid makes the T500 look small and 500's were big bikes back in the early 70's. Some folks used them to tour. 7

                            so i just got a text from the above mentioned gixxerpunk, deerhunter and bikeless kid..... he wants to borrow the titan tonight.

                            i am conflicted. first of all, with his luck he will find another damn deer with it.

                            and second-----

                            it is mine, mine, mine .......

                              It seems like he might need some work on braking and as the Titan doesn't have any { had one back in the day } I would be reluctant too......
