ok... so last night i sat down and spent some TLC with the carbs and front master...
got the carbs completely cleaned, and buttoned up, the floats are now set (according to the owners manual they need to be at 15.5mm and they where WAY off!) Use the old cut index card trick, works great! got them all put back together
had some time left before i could do no more... so i re assembled the master cyl for the front with a new rebuild kit in it... good as new! just need to make a mount for the resivor...

This project really showcases your many skills. Nice work.
If someone had to pay retail for all this work they'd have thousands of dollars in the refit. Your partner will wind up w/ a custom bike which should be pretty trouble-free for many tens of thousands of miles.
