The bike is slightly modified (no air box, replaced with 6 independant air filters, Dyna ingnition, front blinkers, painted engine, commands and calipers) but I do have all the original parts plus a DG 6-1 exhaust and the most important, an original Honda mechanic book.
I'll be documenting my journey into my first rebuild project for your pleasure but mostly as an aid to my memory. I'm steering towards a ridable retro-mod with non-permanent mods, including custom mono seat, bubble and café handle bars. I'm thinking of swapping a CBR front end that the seller still has (also has GSXR rear end with all the custom machined stuff still in its box). Selling my old house in 2 weeks from now should make me decide. I really dig the twin shocks look but as a 250lbs geared up rider and my tendency to twist the right wrist, I'm kinda scared of that CT70-looking fork. I'm also questioning the riding position with café handlebars, I haven't found posts on relocating the pegs, if anyone did it, let me know.
I've been riding since I'm 10 all of these babies. I'm not that old, I was just poor haha!
