"Newb" with a cb200

Been a member since 2008, so I figured it's about time for my first post. Just finished (till winter anyway) my cb200, I guess it's kind of tracker style. This was a super budget bike, everything was done as cheap as possible, with the most expensive parts so far being the rear shocks and exhaust at $80ish each.

Short term to do-
get registered in Vermont
at least front tire, maybe both. Has a brand new Duro hf314 on the back, but it's not very round
stick some spacers in the front shocks. the fender hits the exhaust when riding around in my yard
remove tach cable and plug hole, it seems to be spewing oil

Long term-
replace rings, smokes out of the right cylinder
maybe find different air filters, seems to run alright though
paint or powder coat the frame and engine while it's off
dunno

Looking good! I'd prioritize getting the engine running 100% right before anything else.
 
Thanks. When it comes time, I'll have to bore the cylinders and get new pistons, because standard size rings are not available as far as I can tell.

Here's a short video of it running-
