Hello again, two years have passed

Hi Everyone,
Hope you are all well in this strange time we find ourselves.
It was back in 2017 I said hello with my new purchase, a 1986 90 G which turned out to be in less than ideal condition. It had a little "bottom Rot" and exhaust studs held by glue just for staters, but I decided after a few posts and help from this forum to have a go at fixing it up. I called it "Patch" in homage to the proposed welding repairs. So I promptly took it apart and then strange times came and Patch got ignored in a box in the garage.

Roll forward to the strange times we have now and I suddenly found myself with nothing to do. Sitting the garage with a mug of coffee I suddenly remembered poor old Patch and started to reassemble the box of bits. The welding I had completed 2 years ago and had ordered replacement parts for some damaged items.
They say a picture speaks a thousand words:

The frame is 95% assembled but still some work on the engine and bent bits (foot rest etc) before they are fitted.
Funny find - A previous owner had fitted a "performance" cone filter complete with the storage silica gel bag, which I found jammed in the carburettor. This was a running bike at the time!

Going to have some questions I hope you can help me with, the devil's in the detail, and two years have passed so it's testing my memory as to where bits go!

Hello and thanks
Mike
