This 1980 Honda XL500S is being dismantled at Derrimut. It’s an air-cooled four-stroke trail single, road-registered with lights and a speedo, and one of the first Honda trail bikes to run Pro-Link monoshock rear suspension in place of the twin shocks fitted to earlier XL models.
Parts off this XL500S

- Headlight, tail light, indicators and speedometer
Because the XL500S was among the first bikes to carry Honda’s Pro-Link suspension, genuine linkage and shock parts for this model are specific to a narrow window of early Pro-Link-equipped Hondas rather than shared broadly across the range. That makes this donor particularly useful for anyone restoring an early Pro-Link XL to original spec.
