My first thought was to make it a bobber but the bike is so complete and in fairly good shape for the age that I do not think I can bring myself to do that. I owned a Honda Shadow 650 bobber previously that I really enjoyed, except for a electrical issue that I could never run down, and a springer solo seat that was way to small.
Only time will tell.

I am very fortunate to be in a house and have a inside space where I can work on it. I will keep pictures coming and I have received very good advice on all my newb questions.

I would move the turn signals to the headlight bucket & change the handlebars.
When you change the bars, that kind of opens a whole new can of worms. new cables. brake line. mc.
That bike appears to need a bunch of work, so you probably need to do that stuff anyway.

The stock Fr turn signals have tiny grounding rings, so I cut those off & crimped on some 10mm rings from the auto parts store. At the time I didn't have a good ratcheting crimper, so I did mash crimps, then secured the crimps using Permatex liquid solder. The stuff dries like a hard plastic & is actually a good alternative to solder for the turn signals. I wouldn't do this on something like the ignition system, though.
