My esteemed fellow Wilddogs. :)

This rare interesting looking yellow bike was donated to Coconut by a very generous Wilddog member. Coconut's little NXR125 just doesn't cut it any more as her riding skills have far out grown it. We now need to restore this bike into a dually that will satisfy her hunger for speed.  ;)

Where are the Yamaha fundies when you need them?  :peepwall:

I am not sure if I should try to get it back to as original as possible or try to make it into a off-road, no light no unnecessary.

For original will I find the parts needed for it?
Is this bike worth getting back to original, could it be worth something to her later on?
Where would I start to look for parts of this old nature?
What would the year model be on this bike? I am thinking somewhere round 1975?
Where would I find a workshop manual for it?

Here she is in not so good shape.
