I got this bike a few weeks ago amd proceded to tear unwanted weight/luxuries off of it. The original key has the word "ratboy" scratched into it. I have thoroughly douched the carbs, since added pod fitlers, bolted on some clubman bars I found on my girlfriend's '75 CB550, and tore the ugly seat and rear fender off. I intend on making a simple solo seat, and adding a 4-1 pipe and yet to be determined period correct tail section.

Thanks! I just primered the metal and bench synched the carbs, but I still need a seat. But, its much too nice outside to be working on bikes.
I'm riding on an eigth inch of high density foam covered in black duct tape!
