Thank christ you put that stock seat back on.
Looks good man. Do yourself a favor and get that pipe cleaned up and under paint before it rusts through though. They arent cheap to replace.
Oh, and buy this:

Probobly cheaper than a replacement bulb for the stock light, ten times brighter, and simple as hell to install. Well worth it if you ever ride at night. I replaced the headlight on my RD200 with one, and its (excuse the unintentional pun) night and day.

DT's charging systems actually put out more than 20+ volts. They use the battery as a voltage regulator. It is one of the reasons that these bikes constantly blow bulbs.
You can switch these over to 12V by changing the battery, bulbs, and reg/rec.

Well It was really running like shit the past few times i started it so i traced it to the carb and my dad helped me rebuild it. It's running better then ever. This think has way more power now. I think if i just do a few more things to the engine it just maybe will hit the ton. Fingers crossed on that lol. I am gonna (live Von Yinzer said) and re-volt? it to 12v. Then get a 7'' headlight from dime city. Finaly got some cash. Also gonna buy a seat cowl from DesmoBro off his kz750.
I love this bike. I don't think a 16 year old could be happier.
