Ralf,
I used to have one of them...........
Before

Yours looks a lot better than mine did.
I also had an XT-500, actually the TT came as parts when I bought the XT, but since everything was there I could not resist putting it together and making it run. I rode the XT a lot out here, I think I rode the TT around the block every few weeks just to make some noise, but it never saw duty.
Those things have a cult following from what I remember, I believe they sold them in Europe longer than in the US.
Hope you enjoy kick starting, that was the primary reason I upgraded to the DR-650 in 04. Then after experiencing modern suspension I never looked back, and sold both bikes.
That is a good looking bike, are you going to ride it, or are you starting a museum?
