Making progress
 
Well I’ve got some problems. The first is that my tire is too dang big and I’m encountering chain rub. I thought 150/60/17 would work and I guess I’m wrong. Second, my shim for the pumper carb is too big so my seat and plastics aren’t fitting right. My throttle cable isn’t the right length either. Good lord this stuff is never easy. Here are some pictures https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.kaw...acea77ac2.jpegFront went together great except my forks are garbage
https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.kaw...672c94ea5.jpegHere my attempt at spacing the sprocket to prevent chain rub. I cut the old sprocket it’s about 5mm and works but I had to order longer sprocket bolts.
