Yes!!!!

I just applied a little satin clear to it, but it cleaned up incredibly well!!!!!!!

So did the rear hub!!! It looked like brand new after soap and water and a scrub brush!!!

The previous owner must have applied the powder coat to the hubs. These bikes didn't come with white frames or bronze hubs. Almost everything has been powder coated....

Here is a stock 1982 XR500R - File Photo:

I have the factory tool bag now too in black with white lettering....as shown on the red bike above.

At least I'm jealous of getting to head out into the desert all alone, or to a cabin in the woods. Or almost any place other than Florida right now.

Gotcha...I get your point!

But...as I examine myself and my immediate surroundings...I realize I have nothing to offer those on the front lines other than to stay home and to stay out of their way,

So, here I shall remain...!
 
I live on the very edge of civilization. 100 yards from our home, the Wilderness begins. Over that mountain lies the vast expanse of the Mojave Desert. That's my sanctuary...and my isolation.

Smitty would also express disdain at the 3 of us who are still working 5 days a week in the studio, but somebody's gotta finish these projects.
