Small update posted here as I am less than crud at taking time to get pics/vid.
Pulled the lowers, 2.5 tons of aftermarket bobs, swapped the carbs for a good rack (not messed with, just flowing so will be removed again to go through), timing belts, water pump (as I had one), fuel pump (was leaking), and cleaned half a million electrical connections. Played it lazy and didn't pull the fuel tank just yet. Wanted to know it was worth it first, so popped a hose from the fuel pump inlet to a 5 gal jug. She's a keeper! Fairly impressed with it at this point.
Still a good bit to go, but so far, everything's working as it should and it's a smooth runner (mind you the carburetors still need attention). Haven't serviced the final drive or touched the suspension. brakes and bearings in the least.
I am going to have to pull the starter and wake it up but shouldn't be a big deal......... Though I'm starting to REALLY miss having a center stand.
