So, when I left off my narrative a couple weeks ago I had gotten the bike running briefly, secured a replacement tank, an 18" rear Lester, and 2 muffler options for the stock header, an OEM from a 750A and a Kerker that may or may not work on the F. I had new sidecovers from Frankenstuff, installed Superbike bars, a new ignition switch, braided front and rear brake lines, and rebuilt brake calipers.
My next repair was to the starter button housing, which like my 550F has completely disintegrated. I ordered the same 3D printed replacement housing that I used on the 550. It worked, but not as well as the 550's did, but at the time it was sufficient to get the button working so that I could use the electric start.
Over the next couple of months things moved slowly. When I first pulled the carbs for cleaning I found 125 mains in them. Stock is 105 and I couldn't think of any reason to have jets that big. Initially I just threw in the '110' jets that came with my carb kits for test ride purposes, but I ordered real Keihin 108 and 110 jets from Jets-r-us, ultimately installing the 108's and holding the 110 in reserve.
I also continued to have issues with my starter button despite the new housing. Some investigation revealed a frayed yellow/red wire that runs to the solenoid, so that was resoldered. I also had managed to drop the ball bearing that moves the metal plate as you press the button. I grabbed one from a spare high/low switch, but it was too small. Fortunately being a parts hoarder can pay off, and I found a replacement in a drawer of misc crap and it worked. So problem solved (at the time, sadly it wouldn't last).
