+1. I know someone that is restoring one right now and it's going to be cool when done. I think his a more like a 250 or something like that and will be street leagal when done.

To the last response, here in MS you can get a title bond as well and I did that with my 74 sporty but it is a PITA. I have looked at the tanks and the one on the whole bike has some rust inside but the other was rusted out. I have tossed the idea around about buying them and making one good bike but I need to finish the sporty, jeep and bug that I have but I can store the other bikes in a barn if I need to.

I remember those bikes. A friend of my little brother's bought one new for about 500.00, but within a few weeks had blown up the motor. Lot of work to restore, I'm sure, but not sure if it would be worth the effort.
