Yes, it's originally Italian and the seller bought it in '21 and painted the swingarm and put NOS parts on it including a the headlight and plastic from a smaller XT. He gave me a box of all the old fasteners as he'd changed them all for stainless. It looks new. He was a member of the XT550 Facebook group and did a really good job with this and he had no problem starting it. But he is at least half my age.
