About
A full restoration is a major financial and emotional commitment. It is not something you start on a whim. Before we turn a single bolt, we need a roadmap.
This 60-minute consultation is a "Feasibility Study" for your project. We sit down (in person or via video) to audit your bike, your budget, and your goals to determine if the project makes sense.
What We Cover in 60 Minutes:
The "Bone Audit": We review the condition of your core components. Is the frame straight? Is the tank usable? Do you have the title? We identify the "dealbreakers" that could kill the project halfway through.
The "Unobtainium" Check: We identify the specific parts for your model (e.g., CB350F exhaust pipes, Z1 bodywork) that are impossible to find and create a sourcing strategy.
Budget Reality & Phasing: We build a preliminary "Good, Better, Best" estimate. If a $10k restoration isn't in the cards, we plan a "Phase 1" mechanical refresh to get you riding now while we save for paint later.
The "Resto-Mod" Strategy: We discuss modern upgrades that look vintage but improve reliability (Electronic ignitions, modern charging systems, LED retrofits).
Why pay for a meeting? Because starting a restoration without a plan is the fastest way to end up with a $5,000 pile of parts you can't assemble. This consultation gives you a clear scope of work, a realistic budget, and a guaranteed bench slot in our schedule.
