Yes, Long was meant to warn you the post is not a quick and dirty read and a tip to anyone who doesn’t want to read a lot of blather. Maybe I should have put it after the new to me with a comma.

Every seal on that bike will let go as soon as you start  running it.  Save yourself some grief and replace them while you have it apart.

One more vote for mechanical refurbishment. Pull engine and transmission, touch up frame with POR15 as needed. Clean sludge trap, replace rod bearings, replace pistons and cylinders, replace chain tensioner and do a valve job. Do transmission seals, shim and inspect. Assess/replace wiring harness. Add another disc or replace master cylinder. Turn front fender stay right side up. Ride it.
