i don't want super expensive stuff. i prefer building things. and spending the money on bikes, and tools, and track days. and stuff for the kitchen, you know, for baking. and the occasional pretty dress. also, no fancy presents, please. and forget that valentine's day exists. a flower picked on a nice summer day is better than that singing teddy bear, or a box of assorted chocolates that all taste pretty equally bad.
You sound like my girlfriend. She is a woman in the fact that she likes high heels and dresses, and she can cook. Past that, all her money goes into bikes, car shows, and doing random adrenaline junkie things. We skipped V-Day this year, as we both hate the idea of it. We pretty much recognize only birthdays and christmas. Her big ambition this year is to get a bike set up and get out on the track. I totally support my girlfriend and her decisions!

Probably. Too bad you live on the other side of the country. You two would probably get along famously. She wants more female friends to ride with too.

Thanks for all the input - Looks like classic stock will be the way to go with this project. With gas prices up near 4 dollars, I'm sure that will not hurt selling this off. As far as cost for stocker vs cafe, I find the cost to do a classic can be more than a nicely done cafe. Stock parts are expensive and can be hard to find. I'll be shooting some pictures of the bike and post them later tonight. I'll have to add a flower vase (like VW's) and cookies with the sale in honor of girlnamedgo. Now if I can find the time to finish my other project - 69 cb750 classic, I'll be a happy camper.

Thanks for the tip - the mufflers are in good shape, solid with very minor surface rust that should clean up nice. The rest of the bike is mostly there with the exception of the side covers and 1/2 of the front fender.

This 360 in it's present state is about 200 to 300 dollars. Fixed up and running & looking nice - not sure, depends on who is laying down the cash. I would guess somewhere between 1K and 1.5K . With gas up around 4 bucks - this little commuter that can get 70mph will look pretty nice.

Just my guess - probley more or less in other parts of the country.
