You're just trying to tidy it up! Stop it! 🙂
I like the whole thing as is. It will keep you busy enough riding it and keeping it running if you're lucky. It should take you a while to tune it even.
Maybe look at the tyres and make sure they're not just nearest modern sizes and buy some good looking but decent ones if you have the budget.
Then look at the shocks. New pairs can be expensive. Check the headbearing and maybe change the oil in the front suspension.
You're going to want 4 way vacuum gauges if you don't have them already.
This is all lighthearted, my bike is from the same era and looks way less smart but these bikes are charming and you don't need to go looking for jobs to do.

Thanks for the kind comments.
I've been round the houses in my mind trying to figure out how I want the CB to look. Brat, Cafe, Tracker, Bobber etc. In the meantime, I've sort of fallen in love with the originality of the bike. I don't think I'd like to chop it up or mess around with it too much for the time being.
I do however have a better idea of the modifications I'd like to make. Excuse the lack of photoshop skills.
