I would imagine that it's quite valuable but only to a true disciple. Big John's quite an expert on the Hondas (as well as the rest of trials history). When he gets back from Fort Bill I'm sure he'll add his opinion.

If your restoration aim is very much financial, then I can't help but think that you should flip it on and invest in an RTL. This would be a better option for reselling at a high $ than a restored Jeffries. I note that over the last three years that various Honda specials that appeared for sale at the TwinShock Shop that didn't exactly fly off the show room floor. The pool of deep-pocket buyers is rather small me thinks.

Or you could return the bike to a 'ridable condition with improvements'. Imagine Jeffries were doing it again today - but starting with the same 1970s engine stock. You could for example source a new black front mudguard from a modern Gas Gas. Shocks, fat bars, EBC brakes, CDI etc etc. Now that would keep you occupied for a few winter nights.
