Keith,

 I will probably have $3000-$3200 total investment into her when I'm
finished, well worth it though to bring a 31 year old original back to
life!

I am pretty close to that number not including hours. If I did include them
then the price to get the bike in top shape would be about $10,000 :-)

 Choice is either splurge up front
for one that has had all of the refurb work done or get one cheap and
spend that money yourself to get it to that point. I wouldn't trade the
experience of the refurb process though as it was very educational and
provided a real sense of ownership and pride of the accomplishment


Very true. It's all about bonding with the machine....of course you can bond
with a machine that you buy all fixed up but not quite the same as spending
the hours doing it yourself.
