Hi, depending the condition, do not paint, the original patina is better. Clean, brush all electrical connections. The points clean carefully, the older ones are better than the replacements. Carbs, always interesting, clean or have them go thru a hydronic cleaner. Cables, oil them. Are the piston free, I hope, put some light oil in them, the bike in highest gear, [COLOR=""rock the rear tire A Little" each day. buy a battery. rust on fenders chrome cleaner & 0000 steel wool easy. Get battery,gas & see if it runs. after its been run change the oil, all the crud had consolidated in the lower areas. All this can be fun in your own garage. The fancy stuff can be done later, Dave
