If those are the $100 reproduction shocks, they suck on the road. I run ZRX shocks, world of difference.

The carbs cleaned up nicely! They looked not bad in the "before" photo...no oxidation in the jet area.
I have several restored bikes along with a 2006 Goldwing with a sidecar. My wife has a 2019 Suzuki DR 650 for on and off road.

The carbs were pretty dirty.
Glass beaded top covers and float bowls.

Tees were loose, I replaced them.
