Hola DTT forum,
I have been asking this question and reading a lot about the various 70's CB's and I'm trying to get a sense of the best base bike for my build. I am dead set on a 1970's CB, but which one?
Here is what I'm looking for in a base bike:
Your opinions are ALL appreciated! Let me know what you think. Also, if you're in New England and know of any of the following please let me know: A cheapish garage space to store/work on a bike, a bike itself, a place with a REALLY good selection of helmets (esp full face with slideable sunvisors or vintage lookin' 3/4's). Thanks everyone!

Here is what I'm looking for in a base bike:
- Decent stock handling (which can be easily improved, I AM prepared to do SOME frame welding in order to stiffen up the rear end)
- I'm going to try to keep this a two-up with a removable seat-cowl (think Thruxtons)
- A fair amount of stock power. I'm not looking to do major engine work right now, ie I'd like something that can get me to the ton and maybe a bit over...but not looking for a death machine
- In good shape, running at the LEAST, and an engine that won't poop out while I'm taking home
