Howdy! For $200 I'd say you did well!
Obviously you've done some work to it.
Do you have a copy of the Honda Shop Manual or Parts List for your bike? Get one here:

Hello from MN.

Had a similar experience, mine sat for 20 years.  It is very nice when you hear the bike running again.

Thanks guys!! Yeah had it out for about a month. After rebuilding the carbs it fired right up. Been working on painting and cleaning but is coming along nicely. I think I'm going to need to pull the oil pump and replace the seals but everything else seems good.
