Holy Toledo!  I hope you listed it for 2g's. The Lifan engine can go either way (plus or minus). Add in Chicago Craigs... Murder Club will scoff it up! 8)

Yeah I actually did post for $2000 haha! I figure I'll just keep making it cleaner until someone pays me close to that. Got a seat cover on order yesterday. I might try your suction cup idea this weekend to get those tank dents out.

STIG, I would love to keep it, and if I only get low balls on CL I'll most certainly hold onto it :D If I keep it the Lifan engine has got to go, it's really not a high quality engine, even by China standards. It's funny how everyone that I've shown this bike too has funny stories from back in the day on a Honda, love it. My dad's always talking about how they used to have huge groups of kids on Honda 50s. Screw the haters, Honda is a fantastically interesting company. I'll post up more pictures once the we get a sunny day.

Nice old Honda,
Without going into stories about my past bikes and mishaps. 
I have found that on small "soft dent" no creases, Dry Ice and a hair dryer works pretty good.
I use a hair dryer because it doesn't get anywhere near the heat of a heat gun.
Heat the dented area (time consuming part) with the hair dryer then lay the dry ice on it and hold it for a few minutes. 
Repeat as needed, alternating between the heat and cold and I think you'll be surprised at how well it works.

Good Luck

Doc W.

Very nice "old school" tip. There's only a few guys alive that still know this.

Doc! you just moved up to the top ten on my "Respect List". (you should get the award, and "T" shirt in a few weeks)
