It's been awhile since I've updated, but quite a bit of progress has been made. Engine is all sorted, carbs and fuel pump (Thanks @cd176) on, bike runs great. I've got quite a few parts to install, but diving into front suspension first. Both fork tubes have a slight crease just below lower triple clamp, so the search is on for clean fork tubes, or a complete set of forks, plus a '97-'98 front fender. Pulled the exhaust from my son's bike in the meantime and have redone a set of OEM exhaust, really happy with how the street bike has turned out, nearly 100% stock. Here's the project in it's current state, and the street bike.

Street bike looks great, with the exception of the indicators (turn signals) and the tail tidy I would be hard pushed to find any other non stock items.
The project bike is certainly in need of some TLC

I might pull the stock tail section from the track bike and put it on the street bike, will have a place to put the OEM tool kit then, and looking at some other options for the indicators. The TLC that the project bike needs is keeping me out of trouble...

Look after that took kit, they are like gold dust, on my F3 I even had the tyre pressure gauge which I still have to this day

I wondered what in the world you had mounted to the rear seat. The I zoomed in and thought, “Oh, you’re a hedge”. (One of my favorite lines from the original “Arthur” movie).

Rear suspension has been replaced and fuel tank cleaned, now the bike is getting close. New chain and sprockets arrived, new forks, calipers, rear master cylinder, waiting for brake lines and pads to show up then I can look into wrapping up the mechanical side of things. I've been finding some good deals on random fairing pieces, so it's starting to look like a bike again...

Thanks, my plan is to take it for a test ride before the end of the year, as long as all of my parts show up.

On a separate note, does anybody know what the hook is for on the frame in the following picture? I can't recall if my F2 had that hook, but it's on all the F3s.

If I recall correctly it is a tie down hook, either for luggage or transport.
