I don't Facebook. Gone this long without it. Maybe I should finally take the plunge and join.
Either that or I'll get the missus to look.

JDM XRs had kph speedos, but XR500s were rare, if it has the same Speedo as the XR250 and 600 you may find one.
I think they were the same as the 250??
Even the 250 ones are hard to find over here. When I have stumbled across a couple in the past 12 months the bloody sellers have ghosted me.

Is it French?

Yes its French
If you scroll down to the bit that looks like a webpage and across the top are a few options. Click on "Nous Contacter" which opens an email enquiry contact form and you can complete it in English with your details and request , click on the bit that says "Envoyer" and see if they get back to you

Thanks for the replies guys. I've actually found a good condition genuine one over here in Australia. Been looking for nearly 12 months and one finally propped up as well as a speedometer bracket. Now I just need to find a KPH speedometer. Have stumbled across many MPH ones.
If and when I get that I should be on the home straight I reckon.
It's only been 12 years since I pulled it down....

Had a bit of spare time today. So I wired up the old girl, chucked some fluids in and give it it's first kick in 12 years. Fired straight up and all systems go. I will attempt to attach a video here. If it doesn't work, I might need Weeksy to give me a hand.

Nah, I'm just a messy fucker. Bit of fuel hose.
I did have to kill an eastern a couple days ago. Was mowing out the back and poor bugger got clipped with one of the blades. Fucker was ticked off then, I had no choice, was me or it. Otherwise I would've tried to re-locate it.
