Caused a little of a stir with the “Pre-Restoration” comment haha. For all that are wondering, it’s only a minor restoration, touch up paint, polishing, changing rubber bits that are long gone, cleaned the tank, worked on the wheels and I’m working on the engine as we speak. Making sure services are complete according to the manual. Happy wrenching!

Edit: I will not be destroying this bike in anyway but preserving it to the best of my ability :)

eBay.

There used to be more options, I think there’s only one now.

Just picked one up a couple of weeks ago. It is a sweet bike.

I can attest to this. The bike was sitting for a long time but was still well preserved. Largely what my brother and I are doing is small restorative stuff, as well as rebuilding the carbs, polishing, de-rusting in areas, painting, basically just bringing it up to speed.
