Don't know if air flow at higher road speeds might tend to lift the covers (as sometimes happens with pods), but may wish to consider a back-up along with tight new grommets.

ESSENTIAL things to check out:
Inspect the starter clutch, the bolts that hold them together back out and can cause damage.
Up grade the steering head bearings to tapered roller bearings ( All Balls has a kit)and replace the swing arm bushings to either bronze bushings or needle bearings. I found a needle bearing kit on Ebay for about $50.00.
Clean all of the electrical connections and clean and lube all of the switches.
The carbs use Mikuni N100.606 pilot jets as main jets and BS 30/96 pilot jets as pilot jets. You may need to rejet if you keep the pods and pipe. Both are available from Jets R Us at www.jetsrus.com/index.html
If you need diaphrams for the carbs JBM Industries makes them and they are cheep. jbmindustries.com/index.html
Service the brakes. I am installing braded lines and a front master cylinder from a KLR650 on my 750b3.
The rear master cylinder is NLA from Kawasaki, I am using on from a YZF600r Yamaha, it was cheep from Ebay. I had to use some of the 750b linkage and improvise but it is the same size bore and it bolts up nice.
The hydraulic switch for the front brake was bad on my 750b3 so I am using the KLR650 mechanical switch.
You will need new clutch springs. EBC makes some that work well.
Use a good quality O or X ring chain and Sunstar steel sprockets. Keep the chain adjusted correctly. If you let it get too loose it will feel like it is vibrating more.
I am using the clutch lever assembly from a Ninja 500. It is a better part and it has an adjustable lever.
Cafe do's and don'ts:
I am using "superbike bars" with the stock foot rests. Clubman bars are very uncomfortable if used with the stock footrests. I fill my bars with lead shot and install heavy bar-ends to lessen the felt vibration.
These folks make nice stainless steel bar-end weights. www.manicsalamander.com/home.aspx
Service the suspension, buy some quality shocks. I am using Ikon shocks on mine. Rebuild the forks and install fresh springs.
The M-Unit looks interesting and there are some here that are using it on their projects. I think up-grading to a modern fuse block will be solve a bunch of problems.
The 2 into 1 header works and I have one, it's a Mac I think. I understand that the stock header with the under engine cross over and a pair of free flowing mufflers will produce more mid range power. I am planning to build a stainless 2 into 2 for mine and I am looking at a pair of the Cone Engineering mufflers. I am sure I'll end up with a $200 bike that has a $1000 exhaust system.
Z1 has most of the maintenance supplies you will need. Jeff is a nice guy and he does good business.

Great job on the side cover cutouts! I've seen so many hack jobs on those. Looks nice!

did you have to narrow the pivot of the cop arm for your twin 80b4?
