I take it you are talking modern belt drive SS?
Great choice. Most of the work you can do yourself. Pretty solid bikes and they handle and go surprisingly well. I had a 750 dressed up with super light seat and exhausts and it looked and sounded fantastic. Definitely an appreciating future classic.

Try and go for a 900ss pre injection. They were very simple , reliable, looked great and handled beautifully. Never liked the look of the injected ss's
This was my 900ss FE
