Quick Update....rebuilt petcock, front and rear brakes, got keys to original switch, Shinko's on order, fired right up, stumbles now and again, I just put a little seafoam in the gas and rode 25 miles or so, seems to be clearing up a low rpm stumble, seems flat at full throttle midrange but I've been riding a 175 hp v4 Aprilia so maybe I'm just noticing the difference. I'll give it some time and push a little harder once I get some tires on it. Other than that, such a beautiful silky engine and it sounds like a Porsche with the stock exhaust, really nice. A little bit of a shudder off the line but I'm learning to avoid that with a little more aggressive throttle and slip technique. The forums have been a lifesaver so thank you to all, past and present.
