FJRIGJWWE9R1PIC_RATING:COMMENTS Niether, just clean it up and get it running! Too many shiny restored bikes out there and not enough original bikes with genuine age old patina. Out of my own stable I have 2 original and several shiny ones, wherever I go the original ones always get more people talking.

FJRIGJWWE9R1PIC_RATING:COMMENTS As above, bikes like this will be very rare in the not too distant future. Be a proud owner of one of the few that remain in original appearance. There is a wax product that I do not know the name of, that will preserve it.

FJRIGJWWE9R1PIC_RATING:COMMENTS Keep it original! Preserve it with ACF50. Plenty of civilian bikes around too. Be different and celebrate it’s history.

FJRIGJWWE9R1PIC_RATING:COMMENTS No contest leave it original, maybe replace silence exhaust pipe and pushrod tubes, it will be worth more and you will have spent less.

FJRIGJWWE9R1PIC_RATING:COMMENTS I would keep it as it is. I had planned to get one in such conition and ended up with: http://www.jampot.com/pic_display.asp?id3737
which sadly needed a "from the ground up" build. I’m trying to keep as much original as possible though
