Lesson learned from bike restorations

June 17th, 2009 by BT Leave a reply »

If there was one thing I learned from my CB360 project it’s to not get too crazy with the amount of work and money that you’ll put into an old bike that has little potential for any serious value.  If it were an old Harley or Indian or something like that, the sky’s the limit.  I know you do restorations for the personal satisfaction and not profit..but there are limits to everything.

That being said, I’m REALLY tempted by this old Kawasaki I found on Craigslist today.  To give proper credit, HERE.  I would LOVE to get my hands on this.  If I even had room for it I’d probably buy it anyway.  I figure $200 for a title, $600-$800 in parts, $100 or so in supplies and paint, and I’d have a pretty nice restored Kawasaki for my collection.
