I have a tank from a 1973 TX500 which is in pretty good shape. If you are interested, let me know. Bob

I have a 1975 xs500b, which has the same oil leak. My only suggestion is that you find and purchase any gaskets you can. I cannot find gaskets for my 1975, which is only 3 years older. I acutally have two of these bikes, and they both leak oil. Good luck.

Where are you located? I have a friend who has a 1973 650 that is in very good shape. He is looking to part with it. If you are interested, I can put you two together. Good Luck!

Did you have any luck finding any more parts for that bike? I recently saw the left side cover lower trim piece listed on ebay, but I don't need that one. any ideas on a front fender? I'll have some pictures of both of mine when the snow melts here in Wisconsin. Let me know.

The long side of the lever is the one that tells you what you are running on. Do you still have this bike? I need the top trim piece on the left side cover. Just looking for one to restore my bike to original. I have two of these bikes, neither has the piece I need.

Where are you located? I have two of these bikes and if yours turns out to be a junker, I need to talk to you about parts. I'm in Wisconsin and just bought the second bike for $620. Runs great!

I have two. If the picture you have is correct, it is maroon with gold strips on the tank. That is a B. What shape is it in? Have more pictures?

I don't have pictures yet. It is in very good condition, just sat for the last decade. In order to make this bike like new, I just need the top trim piece from the left side cover and original exhaust pipes. The "donor bike " I just bought for #620 is in real good shape. Pipes are starting to rust out and missing the same trim piece. I'll try the mike's site you mentioned. What shape is yours in?

I am new to this, so please bear with me. I have a 1975 yamaha, XS500B, that I purchased new. It has been sitting for about the last 10 years. It ran when I parked it so I suspect with a fluid change, battery and clean up of the carbs, it should run. Here is my problem... I will be needing some parts for this bike. I just bought another bike or the same year and model on ebay as a donor bike. It is really too nice to take apart and runs well. I can get some of the parts I need from this bike but still need some other. My biggest needs are an exhaust system and the trim pieces for the left side cover. Anyone have suggestions as to where I could start looking for parts? Any help I can get will be greatly appreciate. Thanks
