[QUOTE="allenp42, post: 174571, member: 8785"] Welcome aboard Nemesis! You bike looks similar to one I saw on craigslist down in SC. Anyway, "where do you start". I think Kirb already mentioned it, but a lot depends on where you want to end to end up and how much time, and how deep your you want to reach into your wallet:) The best advice I can give you is work one section at a time. Bag, tag, and take pics of EVERYTHING. The hardest parts to source and the most expensive are the headlight ears, handlebars and control switches. There are no aftermarket parts for these but they do show up on e-Bay from time to time in varying conditions. In general, you just don't see as many 75-78 parts floating around as you do for prior years. It looks like your bars and controls are fine, but sometimes getting the knobs out of the bars can be a challenge. Hopefully you'll be lucky! Any CT70 engine from 69 thru 78 (and beyond) will bolt right up. If you're wanting to score one from a 77, they do appear now and then but not not all the often. Here is a link to my 77 rescue.
