[QUOTE="69ST, post: 181814, member: 5"] As nice as it looked, as-received, it was quite a way past "100% original". Your upholstery & polishing looks beautiful; this should be stunning when complete. Two important notes, if your goal is a "100-point", concours-correct, restoration. The brake arms, brake stay, fasteners, seat latch, battery carrier, etc must be zinc plated, as they were originally. Silver paint is going to catch the attention of purists and detract from your excellent work. Second, ditch that stupid "lift handle". It is NOT a CT70 part...only ST70s with centerstands got them but those bikes didn't come with the CT70 engine guard. Take a close look at your detail shot (good photo, btw) and note the damage inflicted because of that handle. [/QUOTE]
