Hoping to make it look like this some day!

You're going to change it from a center-port to a side-port? :laughing
Mine's in the attachment below. It's a real Bill Bell... 1978, 442cc. Bought it in 1982 from the original owner, who spec'd it, and sold it in 2012. It was my only dirt bike for 15 years. I mothballed it, and did a full resto on it prior to selling. Lots of NOS stuff. The forks are Simons, which I had powdered silver to look like the original Cerianis, and the shocks are Works, with powdered black springs. The Honda front brake didn't work at all, so laced up an IT400 hub (this was pre-disc-brakes). Wanted a speedo drive, so Steve Simons' guy Tom - this was when he was in a small shop off San Antonio, across from Sears in Mtn View - machined the right fork lower to accept the add'l width. It had all the cool stuff... bore/stroke, ported head, cam, Webster gear set, lightened flywheel, Barnett clutch, Lockhart oil cooler, 36mm Mikuni, huge K&N. Weighed 272 wet, and that motor was STOUT. Suspension worked pretty well after I had Phil Douglas re-valve it. And, it was fucking gorgeous! :thumbup
Congrats on your new toy!
