Got her for $375, put about five hours labor and maybe $200 for parts, most of which were metric fasteners and ceramic coating the exhaust.
The rest:
replacement handlebars
new front tire (not pictured)
"street style" fender, also not pictured, well, not installed yet...
spent two hours sewing a new seat skin by hand (not doing that again)
hammered out the rear fender
bought parts that are to a different XT, need to put on Ebay and get some of my money back.

It's lots of fun once you get it started. It starts fine actually, just kicking a 550 cc single cylinder is sometimes a chore.
