WHAT'S YOUR WINTER PROJECT

Summer's gone and everything is winterized so what is your winter project? Let's hear about them.
I'm wrapping up a 'preservation' on a rare bike so need to decide what to start on next. I need to choose the Z1R or the Shadow. Both will be enjoyable. The Z1R just needs the engine freshened up, new tires and completely detailed.
The Shadow will be a complete nut & bolt restoration. Ironically, both bikes have less than 7000 original miles on them.

Like I posted- I have a 78 Benelli 750 sei I’m working on this winter. I have not started yet (need to finish garage addition) but plan on doing a nice ‘rider’ resto. No show bike, not perfect but looking nice and running well. I have not even tried starting it yet.

That little 750 was a sweet bike. My only experience with the 6 cyl bikes was a CBX. Did the bottom up engine with Carrillo rods and all, then turbo charged it. Two weeks after finishing it, it caught fire and was totaled.

Looks like there will be an additional restoration in the middle of the other builds.
It's a Lil Indian Bambino Mini Mini.
I picked this one up because it's like the one my son started on when he was 5.
Lets see,,, that would be 46 years ago.
