Update for those interested, may be of use for those attempting their own restorations, the rest of you, bear with me.
Rebuilt and installed forks, replaced steering stem bearings, need to sort out a weak steering stop/lower triple tree divet.
Brake pads replaced, oil lines replaced, oil tank cleaned.
Rear isolastics replaced with engine in, primary case on. Pain in the ass, especially with the bike on a dolly but it can be done. As long as you can manipulate the frame and engine independently you can create clearance. An extra set of hands is necessary unless you are a master of the scissor jack(s).
Begand drilling holes for the Kegler clamps but my bits were not up to task. Saved for another day.
Wiring and hardware in place for Pazon. In hindsight I should have done a custom harness as advised. Pazon eliminates 25-30% of any stock wiring harness.
Something to note as well, not sure if this makes a difference between years but when installing a mk3 box headsteady, space for wiring/coils is limited, keep this in mind. Thanks to o0norton0o(Frank) for sending me his headsteady.
Will work to install a hidden safety/kill switch that can disable the bike when not being ridden.
Looking towards tires now so I can get the bike back on the ground. I have ridden Avon RR before but currently have K70s on both of my other bikes. The RR were great tires, modern feeling and aggressive while the K70s have a great look and perform well for casual riding, interested to hear what you guys ride with.
Will be away from the bike for a week or two, trying to gather some info in the meantime.
Thanks to those who took the time to read and respond. I know this reads like a check list but it helps keep my progress in order and I really appreciate the feedback from everyone. I'm just another guy wrestling with an old motorcycle in a basement.
Thoughts on the paint are also greatly appreciated. Thank you!
