Right hand pot doesn't like running under 1500 rpm which makes starting
from cold a fine art. I've got a new pilot jet which I hope will fix
that.

A few other bolts to tighten and split pins to fix and it can be given a
test ride.

Amazingly the 30 year old rectifier works, I was anticipating grief with
the charging.

Beautiful, really nice job. I have enjoyed seeing this project unfold
through your posts over the years.

Is that the word HAGON I can can see on the shocks?

Yup, original shocks are unobtainable and the ones on the bike were
shot.
