Excellent work, Scotch. Very impressive.

Those two extra instruments look neat - what are they?

The grips are an attractive design.

The handlebar - I’m trying to visualise how much narrower it is compared to the original.

How does the engine performance compare to your recently rebuilt 1300?

Needless to say, the carbs will be perfect!

Front-fork air and Oil psi. It won't be on the road 'til next season but have little concern about how it will perform.
Ya, the carbs are perfect.  All the "tricks" that I've documented previously on the Forum, plus few that have been proven on my '80..

Excellent work, Scotch.

 I'm jealous in a good way.

 Regardless of the condition of the motorcycle or the missing parts, I think you'd be able to rebuild it from the oil stain.  Congratulations.

right hand switch gear

Came with the bike.  A similar era Kawasaki - don't know for certain which model but it does not have the typical Headlight function.
