    It needs a bit more power.
    I can't decide if I should keep it stock or modify it slightly.

    Hot rod it! Long as they look stock(ish) I reckon it's all good. I'm trying to keep my RM400T close as poss to period correct...but have cheated with twin leading shoe front brakes (gonna be a race bike and want it to stop)...and have modern black Tagasko rims. Other than that she's as they were in 1980.

    Anyone got any ideas on progressive fork springs for the XT500?
    I can get emulators, but that's probably a bit over the top for the intended use.
