Re: Show bikes: restoration rules?
Originality is # 1. Patina is highly regarded over non stock replacement. If you can match do so as close to original as possible or clean and reuse the original.
Try a google on "Concours restoration" or Concours d'Elegance
Personally I have only seen one concours event. I found it interesting but beyond my area of passion.

Re: Show bikes: restoration rules?
depends on what class you enter..original restorations..means no aftermarket stuff etc. etc. all must be OEM for that year's model..original but no restoration..just really clean and no aftermarket parts, custom anything goes..
