I have a feeling you would simple hate the oily rag renovation of my 1976 Bloop:

The BlOOP has been saved, which is good & it's nice to see that you're going to keep it, it's another classic that isn't destined for the scrapyard


The X5 was going to be a full restoration as I owned one in 1979 (It was my 1st ever motorbike).
The main problem has been the price of parts, they were only built for a handful of years, so parts command a high price (when you can find them). I have a pair of std silencers, but the chrome platers wanted over £350 for the pair & the Gibsons turned up at over £100 cheaper I'd always wanted expansion pipes when I was a youngster, so couldn't say no
