My brother-in-law collects old Jap bikes. He bought a couple of '65 Honda Cub's that were still in the crate from an old local Honda dealer's widow. He assembled them and since neither had ever had gas in the tanks, he decided to display one of them in his 30 ft living room. He built a short wooden platform (about 2" high), finished it with urethane, and put the bike on it. It sat there for 2 years until a Honda rep from Japan bought it to put in their Honda museum. I would only consider you nuts if you were doing a tear down and rebuild in your living room.......as someone I know once did.
