to build or not to build?

[GarageRatt13]

hey guys i was wondering if i could get your opinion. i have a 1973 CB450 thats in pretty good shape and almost ready for the road but as winter is coming im wondering if i should do a full rebuild instead of just fix what needs to be fixed. and then i would plan on rebuilding it next winter. what do you think? this is a pic of her as she is sitting now.

cheers!

Winter goes fast. Do you have other bikes to ride? If not, get this one on the road first, feel it out, decide what you want it to ultimately 'be' and do that next winter. The fact you have snow already means your winters last long and you can spend next summer/fall gathering the bits you need to do the winter rebuild.

haha that pic is from last winter when i picked it up and sadly its been sitting in my shed all summer cause i had other projects, but yeah that sounds like a good idea. im just excited to finally be able to start working on it. and no thats my only bike.
