Well if ya don't keep it you will in the not too distant future walk off into the woods and shoot ya self in the foot. Defo keep the hugger. White wheels well if you like cleaning them every 5 seconds go for it but on your bike I would get the spare wheels you have powder coated in a dark gun metal or black.
For the zorsts I would take the whole system off and pack them away in the garage to be sold as gold later, to the anorak piece of mind genuine sump plug washer restoration brigade. I would then get a cobra speed pro system for it, yep they still make them in Germany and available on eblag too wotsit number is 231902231626 for information purposes or you can look up speed products on googlies or www.speedpro.de. Then I would fit a dynojet stage 3 kit with k&n dual filters, you will become addicted to the sound the standard carbs make when the have the stage three fitted with the dual k&n's as you hit the power. Absolutely loved that sound when I had standard carbs on mine.

The gas flowed head shit its self on the journals for some reason, nothing wrong with oil pressure or the oil ways that all checked out. I got a very low miles bandit 1200 head and matched the inlet rubbers to the ports, gave the valves a re-seat and cleaned up the ports while I was there. Whacked it on with a new cometic gasket and bobs ya uncle fannies ya aunt job done.
Think I will get it setup on a dyno just to be sure the fueling is ok but it sure does feel good out on the road, the plugs are a nice not dark or light brown colour , no flat spots or fuzziness either

Bugger me that's shiney
only one thing could make it better, blue and white with white wheels
Blue and white is soooooo over done these days and them days. White wheels nah never, mate had one with white wheels was forever cleaning them. Stick to my silver wheels and polished rims once a month wipe off and re-coat with a cheap car wax keeps the polished ally polished. Howdy fatbloke hows it all going
