Finally got it re-registered and insured. Street legal now. Just need to finish some optics (wrap gas tank & other side panel i think), add a clip to pull the charging cable out through the gas tank lid, and install a chain slide and it is good to go. Actually the only real thing is to add the chain slide as I am using a smaller than stock sprocket so it will rub on the swing arm. Or i could just increase the front sprocket size, lengthen the chain, and get on with life also.
One of the problems with a 30 year old bike is having 30 year old rubber and plastic pieces. These pieces eventually dry out, becoming brittle, and break. Sometimes these parts are small, like the starter button. Note the hole just below the yellow word “START” on the right, to the left of the grip. This is where a black plastic button about the same size as the hole should be. After 30 years it broke one day when I pushed it. So I had a friendly session with the handle & found out a) there’s a reason it is an insulated button, an uninsulated metal button will blow the main fuse, b) you can shock yourself if starting your bike with a key (by inserting it into the hole) while not wearing gloves. Sometimes hard to find part, occasionally can be found on ebay for about $8.
