[QUOTE="MSZ, post: 5343, member: 7"] If the tank holds gas and isn't completely rusted on the inside, and the headlamp is complete, the bike is worth $300 for just those two parts alone. On ebay, that bike would bring at least $400. If I were to restore that bike, I'd keep the frame and upper fork legs, the tank, the headlamp, the fasteners and toss the rest in the trash and build from scratch as most of those parts won't be worth saving. Maybe keep the hubs and backing plates as well. A fully restored Z50 K1 will bring as much or more then a fully restored CT70 HK0 or K0, and with the tank and headlamp being there, all the rest of the parts are available in the aftermarket. You'd spend $2500 to restore it, and if done right, could fetch what you have in it. If you want to build it and keep it to enjoy, go for it. If you want to buy it to flip it, don't give over $300 for it, and part it out and watch the people fight over the headlamp bucket. I like the idea of owning a Z50 hartail, but they are only fun to ride if you are a hardcore enthusiast or want it for your kids first bike. I only build the softtails as the aftermarket is huge on what you can do to them. Dan [/QUOTE]
