My friend and went together to buy these bikes, we bought this bike along with second one that he kept. The bikes are only one vin apart from each other. We purchased the bikes out of Oakley Ut. from couple who told us the bike was originally owned by the famous race car driver Parnelli Jones. They said they had known Parnelli as he used to have house in Oakley/Park city area of Utah and they used to keep watch on their house for them sometimes when they were not staying there. Eventually Parnelli sold the bikes to them and that is how they acquired them. The bike starts up easily and the motor sounds quiet and strong. It shifts very smoothly. It does back fire little bit and am thinking that it needs some fine tuning. The cylinder head does show signs of oil on the top and when it gets hot, that old oil starts to burn off so you can hear little air/popping. In my opinion the oil should be pressure washed off and it probably needs new gasket. The speedometer and mileage indicator both work but the speedometer sounds little bit loud to me. The neutral and high beam light both work on the indicator but did not see the turn signal indicator light working. That may be because there are no turn signals on it. The taillight and headlight with high beam both work. At some point newer handlebars and grips were added. The horn works intermittently and is low in sound when it does, am thinking that the connections just need to be cleaned. have the key for the ignition and the on/off switch works fine. Both of the brakes work and the bike handles nicely. The bike paint and cosmetics are original and show very well. The tank is straight and the paint shines. Under the original sticker on the gas tank is some light over spray of paint of some kind. The seat looks great and there are no tears or rips. There are some light blemishes here and there which you can see in the pictures and video. This bike is clean low mile  XL500S. Although there is no documentation of Parnelli Jones being the original owner of this bike, have looked up and he did in fact have vacation home here.
