Oh man... Nice! I've really been wanting to do a restoration as well... I found a Honda CX500 for $500 on craigslist recently and really wanted to purchase it... Don't have the money right now though... Oh well. Good luck on the resto!

Looks like you've taken step one -- stripping to the frame. :lol:

Be sure to post pics as you go, this looks to be a fun project.

Are you going to keep her blue?

You do know that when you're finished it'll still be a CB250N...?

Have some good fun tinkering, keep us updated :)
