          Bluesmoke, you've got some skills

          Most people can't straighten out that thin metal on the gas tank

          I can't help but notice that the bike has a 78 tail on it. Is the choke a lever on the left side of the carb?

            Yes the choke is on the left side. The bike is a 1978 gs 1000 with an 1100E tank I believe.

                                Hooked up cables but no lights until I decide if I want stock gauges or aftermarket gauges.
