As you can see from the picture I installed the carb with a pod style filter. I went with the pod filter for a few reasons. It looks way more bad ass, it's way cheaper than buying OEM, and maybe it will even slightly enhance the performance. I figure it's a win win. I also attached the swingarm and rear shocks. Cleaning up the rear shocks was time consuming, they were coated with 40 years worth of grease and oil. The good thing is that all the grease and oil prevented them from rusting. They almost look like new! I decided not to bother re-sanding and painting the swingarm, the paint I'm using isn't gas/oil resistant and will just get chipped/worn away anyway. Besides, the main goal of this project was to get the bike running, and if I want to achieve that before I leave for school I've got to get moving.
