I'd restore it Mark, "Fads" like the Cafe craze will come and go, but a clean original(ish) Black Bomber will always be a good investment. Cheers, Terry.

Ha, Kind of what I have. but it is a tough choice.

Like Terry I hate to lose an original, but 25+ years under a shed roof in Goshen NY is tough to overcome. all the aluminum is so pitted it takes hours on every part to sand the complete surface smooth enough to polish.

I think it's one of the sexiest bikes.

I had thought that sandblasting would remove the chrome off the fenders.

I was wrong. Hopefully finding a chrome place take the chrome off won't be too expensive....

Got almost all of the parts sandblasted.

Very impressive, Larry! I've always liked the 450 side cover badge for some reason.

I like that 450 of Larry's because it looks a bit like a CB750. If you could just pull that rattly boat anchor of an engine out and install an SOHC4 in there, it'd be a truly impressive bike!
