Nice job :)

So what all did you have to do?

I cleaned carbs, some fresh fuel, fresh oil, plugs, fuses, replaced speedo cable, clutch cable. I rebuilt the master cylinder and added stainless stain lines and new front brake pads. painted the tank and cover and emblems. Also had the seat professionally reupholstered.

A set of stainless steel spokes and you have a nice looking bike.
It makes a refreshing change not to see drastic changes to a bikes looks.
Well done.
