There are a lot of really cool options. But I have to wonder. Since the total amount of these bikes out there are relatively low in numbers. I am thinking that keeping the bike 100% stock will be in the best interest long term.
I have looked at all the restored cb's from the 70's that are out there for sale. Many of them have been painstakingly pieced back together, and command a pretty penny to play.
While I am loving my new ride, and plan to put some serious miles on it, I just can't help to think how many of these will be survivors in another 40 to 50 years. How many of them will be all original.
Personally, I hope to have great, great grandchild find this bike sitting in my barn, clean, covered and ready to go.

Hi Jodytek,
I’m new here, as well. Same thought process as yours... if it’s all original, and maintained and garaged for the long haul (no pun intended), it will be of greatest value. But I suspect certain changes could be made, as long as plan to keep the original parts. Just an opinion, of course.
Have fun, and be safe out there!
