...once I've the exhaust fitted and wrapped...
Are you talking about wrapping the header? If so, I'd advise against it, wrapping mine has proper fucked it.
The wrap soaks up water thrown up by the front wheel and on smaller capacity bikes doesn't get hot enough to dry out so just sits there rotting the header at an accelerated rate due to the warmth.
Ymmv being that yours is a single, mines a twin, but I now have a completely fucked front header with raggedy bits of wrap stuck in amongst rust.

Raised suspension would be great but I'm aiming to not spend too much on this and also it's only ever really going to be a faux-tocross/ shambler at best (quite proud of those two).
Just fitted the handlebar and mercifully the cables and hoses worked out for me! Gaiters fitted too.
Need to figure out a non-repulsive mirror as the aftermarket ones fitted by the previous owner are sick.
Some new grips must be ordered too and then once I've the exhaust fitted and wrapped and a raised front fender it's going to look great! Raised fender will most likely necessitate raising the headlight too and I'd quite like one of those nifty stone guard cages and maybe a yellow tint.
