If you have a dremel you can get get these. They are hard enough to eat the old gasket but won't damage the aluminum at all. http://www.dremel.com/en-us/Accessories/Pages/ProductDetail.aspx?pid=EZ471SA

Thanks for the tip! Ill pick that up!

Spent most of today painting and running wires and connecting everything back up in the headlight bucket.  And it all works! The rebuilt switches work perfect and the new bulbs in the gauges are very bright!  Maybe not vintage, but they are good looking!  Installed a new turn signal relay and the new ones flash when my old ones didn't.  Its just nice to know all these little things are working!  Also used my Dremel to remove what was left of the old gasket. Don't have any pictures of how it turned out, because it went right to painting after that.

Anyone know where this wire connects?

Seriosly about to pull the trigger on that 175 when i see this a hour away from me!  Looks a little rough but its a bigger bike in fair condition.  What about those high miles though?

If you don't buy it I will!!!!!  That is a restoration candidate though, looks very nice.  I have a '72 in those colors, until a fire broke out next to it at a shop.  Now its burnt and rusty....  Soon to be known as project "Kemuri"

Also, that brown wire would hook into a European Front Parking light, which you probably do not have on your Headlight bucket.  So it does not attach to anything.  You can check to see if the power switched on when the Key is in the Parking Position.

who cares? worst case scenario, you may need to re-ring it. Plenty of these bikes run for over 100k miles if properly maintained. For $550 you aren't getting a stock, new condition bike.

That's more like it, yes happy now. And you can't chop it up.  That bike in original stock cond would be worth $2K plus.  Prob is, needs stock exhaust to get to that value, hard to find and or pricey. 
But easily worth $1000-1500 with just minor work. Good score.

Hoping eventually to find a nice set of pipes for it!  No I told the guy who had the 175 i would give him 200 and he said he could do that.  Im Obviously backing out of that now because this 500 is sweet!!
