Default My 1976 XS500 Twin

Heyy,
Can't figure out how to upload my pics on here... so i guess i'll have to tell it.
My bike is a 1976 Yamaha XS500 Twin, It has an oil cooler, the modified oil filter unit, straight kerker turnout pipes with open air pods.
I bought the bike, it had xs650 carbs on it, bought new carbs... Was wondering if ya'll knew of any cool physical appearence modifications i could make to it? Thanks for the feedback,

Welcome to the forum
in the past I modified a few XS500's, but I guess due to it's age there won't be many customization parts left !!! The bike may be worth more the closer to 'stock' it is !
Regards Jim
