Redheaded Stepchild - 79 Kz650

I have a few projects going on right now, but I've had a blast building this bike in particular. I bought it back in October of last year, it was completely original, ran amazing, and has merely 20k miles on it. I paid the man, rode it straight back to the shop and pulled it apart. My budget for this bike was stupid cheap and I've pretty much kept it that way. I pulled it out today to crank it up and blow all the dust off it. I'm going to start working on it a little more often so I can finish it before spring.

I see a lot of potential!
What are your plans?

Finished building my seat last month. I need to mount it, mount my headlight and finish running some wires. I need to make a new brake stay, and finish extending the rear brake. Then ride the piss out of it. I'm even debating just leaving the frame and tank as is. If not, the frame will be a silver metallic.

Youre aware that at that angle, the rear shocks are just about 100% useless right? Just hardtail the bike properly. Itll look, and ride waaaay better.
