Got my bike legal! Put 18 miles on yesterday just cruising around my area. Lots of new parts so I am taking it easy. Mechanically she is running strong, no major malfunctions. A few things shook loose, headlight/carb link bracket on the bottom/ motor mounts needed torqued up.
What I would like to know from you guys is what I should double triple check and what needs to be hit with loctite before I leave my area and head off into the wild unknown.
I built this up from bare frame and parts in boxes so I have had my hands on everything, but it has been over a year long process so I am afraid I may miss something hiding in plain sight!

Chain, output drive sprocket. Tighten up head stem nuts, tighten motor mounts, axles, cutter pins in place. Off you go.
