Just wondering how many of you are out there. I just picked up a 1982 XL500R and was hoping to get in touch with other Honda XL riders. Stories, pics, tips, tricks, etc...
I thought the 82 was the first year for RVFC? I had one (XL500R) back in the day, but I was just a kid, and can't remember that detail, nor can I find a picture of my old bike.
Great bike, though. I really liked it.
I have a 1984 xl350r I am putting back together after being apart for 7 years I have alot of new parts. Just waiting for my machinist to get my valve seat in for me. I was hoping to see more xl350r post and info.
I was wondering what types of tires you guys are using on the 500. Sizes are 3.00-21 and 4.6-17. I have cheng shins on the bike now and I was lloking for something more dirt oriented.

Just thought I would post a link to some usefull XL info: http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=424841 I've been working on several how-to's and they are posted there, along with some links to other XL websites and threads, this one included!
How about Honda's street-only version of an XL500 - aka an FT500 Ascot. Motor based on pre-RFVC 500, but with fritzy electric starter and tachometer drive grafted on. Still, a ton of fun to ride!
