Ek het! En ek het rerig hard probeer! I just can't see it. Dit lyk soos daai eerste Lego bikes wat ek as n kind gebou het.

My Dad had a firm believe that if his car cold started without the choke it was running too rich.

The 2 x twists of the throttle has allowed me to start first time, so by that reasoning I could assume that at least my bike is not running too rich?

Just looking at the prepping and modding, the Kove 450 Rally is the bike she should really have gone for. I am sure that she learnt a lot since her first CRF250L where she bought the bike 2nd hand in SA, and there she went. The CRF300 Rally was out of the box - she did not even work on the suspension before setting off.
But then, building up a bike for the first time to fit your own special needs is an adventure in itself. Not everyone can do it: you first need to know what you want, and Noraly has ridden a few hundreds of thousands of kms, so she has a fair idea...

One concern would be the 30+ year old plastics. Polished up to look nice? They become brittle and won't withstand the punishment as well as new plastic.

One would have to see whether the front fender tool bag mod works. Some mudguards don't like the weight of a tool bag, and fitting a metal flange on top is not going to make old bones IMHO. Metal fatigue will get the better of this.
