Lists are always useful and these are my thoughts on stuff I've got to work out how to do!
Rear light - need to think about shape and positioning along with numberplate holder.
Foot controls - got some tidy ZZR ones, which mean that the frame lugs need changing, plus a new tab for the rear brake reservior - also need new goodridge hoses. A new gear linkage rod also needs making. Need a brake light switch (probably on rear brake pedal).
Chain guard - not got one at the moment
Sprocket alignment - rear sprocket carrier needs machining to move the sprocket inline with the front one.
Seat - think about recovering and how it attaches to the frame
Handcontrols & switches - What switches and where - need to fit 1" bars and look cool! Throttle and linkage to the carbs. Clutch cable. Need switches for ignition, starter, horn, main lights and dip/main beam (no indicators).
Instruments - need to think about speedo as a minimum, plus some idiot lights such as oil, neutral and high beam. Also how and where to mount it. Do I need a tacho?
Battery box & electrical components - need to mount the battery safely under the seat, plus find a place for the Rectifier, CDI unit, fuse box etc. Hopefully the coils will still mount under the tank.
Wiring - a big job. I have a standard GPz loom but I think this bike requires something more bespoke, especially as the handcontrols and lights are not standard
Side stand - probably needs shortening as the bike doesn't seem to lean over enough to feel safe with the standard length GPz kickstand.
Fuel tank - needs an aircraft style filler fitting and need to look at the fuel tap. Then it's going to be grit blasted and powder coated. Also the fittings on the frame need to be sorted.
Frame & wheels - also need to be grit blasted and powdercoated (black and orange I think)
Front Mudguard - needs painting to match wheels & tank
Side panels - need making from mesh with edging and new tabs to sit them within the frame rails and not on top.
Engine - need to fit oil cooler, and crankcase breather pipe, plus fit carbs and get K&N air filters (check if carbs need rejetting). Also need last couple of spacers for the top rear engine mount.
Brakes - front & back need checking - shouldn't be a problem. Might need new goodridge hoses for right lengths. [Brake light switch]
Fasteners - preferably new stuff, stainless steel?
Headlamp & brackets
Frame - fitting new rear swingarm & wheel, fitting front end & yokes etc - turn stop tabs need moving
I think that's about it for now - have I forgotten anything?
