@andrewj1680 sorry Andrew but that’s terrible advice lol
@declan sorry declan it's true there are a few different builds on this forum ask each 1 of them if they thought about cost first
-
@declan It costs as little or as much as you would like.
It's more to it than that, often people who restore vehicles know the odd person in the trade, and often use that to trade against. I.E. it can be cheap in terms of cash, but might owe you in other ways.
Further to the fact so people are after that OEM+++ or perhaps modified, or simply restored to a good condition.
It would be difficult to say which of the two (oem or modified) costs more. But restoring vehicles doesn't have to be expensive.

How do you measure the time it takes to restore? Everybody is different and finish to a greater or lesser degree, and not just the hours working either. Spent just as long finding the right parts and searching fruitlessly for the parts you simply cannot get. Commercially not viable to restore but enthusiast owners save their bikes for more than just any perceived financial gain. Personally never paid anything for my bike originally bar a days labour and parts changing radiators on a central heating system, but for me has been worth every penny spent restoring

It's alive I decided to run it on the 3xp loom and cdi unit so after changing a couple of connectors for both the front and rear lights I have a full set of working electrics again, still can decide what colour to paint the engine cases do I go silver to match the alloy rear arm and usd forks or do I go for the darker grey what are people's thoughts

@andrewj1680 I’d go darker I personally don’t like the lighter engines
