I'd clean the carbs, POR 15 the tank, throw some new tires on it and call it good. Some time with a buffer would really make that stock paint shine. It's only original once.

Center stand, petcocks off. I haven't checked the float level. There's a bit of fuel on the underside of the bowl, but not enough to cause a drip. Perhaps that's something to look at.
