get an idea of what you want. Look at different builds whats your objective? I would normally advise you to have an idea before you disassemble anything.
keep in mind most builds change several times during the process. mine started out as a get it running and ride it project. went from wanting a wider rear tire to a monoshock conversion.
I got my original inspiration from a KZ i found on Youtube now it's not even close.
Whats your motivation and your budget and time frame?? that will definately help on where to start

I don't know the level of your skills but if you have no building skills I would go for a restoration. Just painting the bike and assembling will increase your skills.
You will also learn the bike from end to end. Roy
