[QUOTE="kerryb, post: 220526, member: 2980"] I've been lax in updating this thread... Here's what we have so far, Brake calipers are all rebuilt, only needed one new piston. Left head gasket is replaced, no evidence of a leak but I can never tell anyway! Handlebars extended 2" with some vintage risers I took off a cb750 barn find. This required a new longer front (left side) brake line. Of note: my brake bleeding has gotten easier because I wrap Teflon sealing tape on the bleeder screw, then use the compressor from an old refrigerator to draw vacuum on the caliper and just watch the reservoir level until air stops coming out. I do have to pump the lever occasionally to make this work. Added crude homemade gears to the air mixture screws on the carbs so adjusting them is just poke it with a sharp stick! got the new seat cover installed on the used seat I bought online. Had to make the aluminum fasteners (they look like nails) from scratch because the originals didn't survive. turned down some aluminum roofing nails on the lathe. Should have thought to anneal them before installation because now I can't bend them over to finish. I'll cut them short and put on a plastic cap. [/QUOTE]
