Hello from Miami, FL. I have a pair of vintage WR500's that just won't quit. Obviously not fast but I don't mind. They're a lot of fun.
I just picked up a 2000 XL800. I couldn't turn it down for the price ($300 including a tandem trailer). It outruns the 500's but what a Frankenstein. First, it's definitely not an 800. I believe it to be a 700 but I'm not sure how to tell. It has a 61X case(stamped on throttle plate). The head is Stamped 62T. Next it has an exhaust that does not match. Looks like it goes on a 61X. The bolts don't line up. It is currently hanging on with only one bolt instead of the 5 it normally takes.
I'm glad to be a member here. Seems like a great forum. I'll be posting pictures and asking for help. Not sure where to start with this.
