Today, we're sharing a project that's close to home: turning an old farm XT500 into a custom MX inspired scrambler.
Phil's last visit and his intrigue with our DT400 Scrambler set the wheels in motion for this project. Focusing on a single XT500, we began a comprehensive build, combining classic and modern elements to create something unique.
Project Highlights:
- Detailed engine rebuild with performance upgrades
- Crafting a custom exhaust and fine-tuning the aesthetics
- Upgrading wheels and suspension for a modern ride
- Handmade fenders and headlight shroud for a personalized touch
- Painting in the iconic Yamaha colours to honor its legacy
Join us as we take this XT500 from barn to built.
