Side note about that vetter, the way it was wired into the system meant that the neutral and oil pressure lights no longer work now that it is gone. Pretty sure I just need to reconnect the wires that it had been spliced into, but any suggestions would be welcome. I have not had a chance to look over the instrument panel wiring diagram.
Once she cranks the first order of business will be an oil change. I know the carbs need cleaning since she had been sitting since last spring, and no idea what the valve clearance is looking like. I also think I need to swap out the front brake master cylinder; the breaks engage and stop the bike cold, but the fluid level window is shattered. I also need to reinstall the stock headlamp and front turn signals; thank heaven the former owner held onto them. I am hoping like hell to get some riding in this summer and not spend all this glorious good weather on maintenance.
Any and all advice is welcome, it has been more than 10 years since my last restore project ('69 Honda XL250, great little bike) and I am excited to get back to wrenching on something beautiful.
