So a buddy of mine awhile back got into an accident on his street glide, and decided to step away.(he came out with only a few broken ribs, got hit by a car.) I have not been in the market for a bike, trying to spend time with my 4 year old, make enough money to let my wife stay home, take care...

true, DR350 has a great parts network, new & used.
the XT500 also has tons of used parts & many new parts. there are some specialty places for harder to find materials such as the vintage spoke in KS. https://www.thevintagespoke.com/

You can diy something
Not So Mellow Yellow: North East's XT500 resto-mod
These days, most XT500s are immaculately restored trailer queens, or display decades of abuse. But they’re also prime candidates for a tasteful resto-mod.
