Resto's cost big $ (like everything else) so I'd part out the spare. Then use that money to fund the cafe. Any news on the title?
I didn't have a gun to his head so he could have said no. I'm honestly amazed he even went that low. When I was talking to him the first time he was asking if I only needed certain parts from it and why I was interested in it and so on. I think that's why he gave me the deal he did. I should also mention the bike came with the original scrambler pipes that are in a little better shape then the 360 I've been working on, and the pipes from the new bike still had the original mufflers and muffler heat shields too. The top one was rusted out but the bottom one just looked like some bad surface rust (still salvageable). Since I can make so much money parting it out, I probably will. How much do you think I can get for the scrambler exhaust, frame (without a title), front forks, wheels, the silver tank and side cover? I was thinking $50 for the frame, $20 for the forks, $40 for both wheels, and $50 for the tank and side cover. I have no idea what the exhaust is worth and I'll likely keep the engine around as a parts motor. Anyone need a CB350 parts motor?

I'll be getting good rear shocks from another guy I know in Madison so the Showa shocks will be cleaned up and put on display either in my bedroom or in the basement by all the other car/bike memorabilia. I figure they will serve as a neat conversation piece.
Assuming you are talking about the gold/orange tank, I love it too. The problem is there are a couple dents that will have to get pulled and that means it will need new paint. I still undecided on the color but I know I want to keep the same stripe style on it. My uncles a body/paint guy and said he would just charge me for materials so I just need to pick a color and I can have a professional paint job for dirt cheap. There's just so many colors that I'm considering (I'll post the contenders when I get closer to finishing the bike).

Thanks a ton!! I was worried I'd have to buy the $30+ decal sets I found on eGay. The second website will allow me to purchase only the ones I need. Thanks for saving me some $$.
