I’m looking at bringing back to stock.   The pic I have on this thread is after I removed carbs.  I rebuilt the assembly and have it running.  SteadiLy doing things to the bike.  Already have first shipment of parts.  Next parts are tires and sprockets.   Already have a new chain.  Have to get decals for it and have tank and Panels painted.  Hopefully that will finish it.  Lol
