Carbs removed

My goal today was to remove the carbs. This was more work than I expected by far. Had to remove all the electrics that are attached to the airbox (I think I'll consider relocating these when putting the bike back together). Also have my first mystery screw, found a brass screw on the floor with NO CLUE where it came from. I know it's from one of the electrical components, but unfortunately forgot to label this one as I took it out.

To remove the carbs, I had to sit on the bike and rock back and forth, side to side for about 15 minutes before it broke loose. Even then, it was like a brain teaser trying to remove from it's tight little spot. Note: must get pod filters, airbox is so annoying!

Also, ordered a bunch of new parts for the bike. Can't wait to get them!

1. o-rings for the carbs
2. chain and sprocket for the bike, keeping the stock 15/50 sprocket count
3. Few gaskets i ripped during the disassembly process
4. NGK spark plugs
5. o-rings for the intake boot
6. drag handlebar, can't stand the current one
7. grips, currently using sticky foam ones
8. bar-end mirrors
9. new seal for the leaky petcock
10. front and rear brake pads
