Recently joined, made a couple of posts but here she is. I won't be keeping her completely standard, bust just a couple of basic things to keep her going.

Nice looking bike and the pipes look mint! I’d keep it standard though or at least make any mods reversible!

The only things getting done are electronic ignition, new rear sprocket - was 35 teeth, going back to 33, new rear disc, Harrison Billet front caliper (4 piston), braided steel brake lines, carbs are not very well set up, so it's going in at the end of the month to have them checked, possibly alloy engine mounts.
Easy stuff to swap back if needed.
The guy I got it from in Manchester had no receipts for any old work but was sure the engine had been redone at some point and was still tight, said I should check the shims. I'll get it all done.
All I want is a crisp engine and a reasonable brake set up. Nothing too drastic.

Decent stopping power will transform the bike :D if you can run to it a floating disc is a good addition too - I think ZPower do them?
