The Photo Story Of the restoration of a True Japanese 1971 GT500.

I bought a decent looking Japanese Only  1971 GT500, in the rare seafoam green. very low miles, but the gauges were busted out, and the rare green left side cover was missing. There is likely no chance i would ever find that left cover. A few weeks later I bought a near mint 1975 T500 with a blown engine. This is the photo series of building that 71 GT500 with all the nice parts from the 1975. I wish I had done more of these, but virus and hard drive failures have robbed me of pictures of probably 500 nice bikes i have owned, and sold over the last 20 years.  I hope you enjoy this series.
