    Not sure yet...full restore? Resto Mod? Rat Bike? Cafe Racer? I have to finish a CT70 & Z50r first. In the meantime I want to get it running & ride a little. Any thoughts?

    I would say pick a purpose for the bike and the start your build from there. No point making a trail bike if you want to ride it on the road. Same for Jumping or racing on dirt.

    I'm with Brodie. Make it suit your needs or desires. Unless it is just a fixup and sell project, there is no sence spending good money on something you won't use.

    You know there are some really nice sl70 builds that would also work with that bike. Make like a dirt tracker. Davmo has a build thread that is just amazing.
