I picked up a pristine z50, completely perfect minus a small scratch in the honda sticker. I have pics on my phone - I'll put them in a bit. It's getting a clean up job and it will be street ready on Tuesday. It's very special. No rust. Looks like a million bucks to me.
Here is my question. I love what some folks have done to make these bikes have the cafe racer look - mostly the seat and handlebars. I don't want to damage the value of the bike... It's all original and runs great.
What would you all do? Below is a bike I love I found on the web.
Here is a link to an image of a bike identical to mine - except the paint - mine is metallic blue.

So... Do I leave it alone? Is it that special? Or is changing some things up ok - keeping the original parts safe in the garage?
Is it cooler having it all original? ( I can talk myself into either way)
Does anyone care.
I just want to cruise around the hood with it. Maybe find some like minded people in my area that are into them.
Any words of advice?
Thanks
