Hey welcome to the forum. That's a very good condition CL70 you have there. I like the color! You bike seems to be in the same level of condition as mine. I've bee encouraged to give mine a full restoration but how do you justify the cost!? A full paint job and a huge amount of hours plus miscellaneous parts is over a thousand bucks. :-(

We just have to take care of the obvious thins and keep them in good running shape. I'm a supporter of keeping things as original as possible... including the paint. It really shows how nice these bikes were from the factory. Just some easy rust removal by hand and coat things in some preservative spray lubricant would be my preference. The tires look ok though. What kind are they?

V-strom = one of the best bikes out there. Very nice.
