Great project! I see some intake boots on your list. First make absolutely sure your stock ones do leak as they are aluminum covered with rubber (against vibration). Tiny cracks on the outside are no guarantee for a leak. You can tet them on a running bike by spraying start pilot at them. If they need to be changed do beware of the quality of the intake boots that are for sale on the internet. People here will chime in to tell you which ones you can use..XS1100 3X0 '82 restomod, 2H9 '78 chain drive racer, 3H3 '79 customized.
MV Agusta Brutale 910R '06.
Triumph 1200 Speed Trophy '91, Triumph 1200 '93.
Z1 '73 restomod, Z1A '74 yellow/green, KZ900 A4 '76 green.
Yamaha MT-09 Tracer '15 grey.
Kawasaki Z1300 DFI '84 modified, red.

It's a possibility. Also keep in mind my description of the connectors is vague at best. Can't really see the colors too well. However, I do know the connectors are different for the handlebars for 1980+. The old are black and I think the new are white and shaped different.

These. Tough to come by. Like seat fastener brackets or spare kicker frame clip. Might need to buy a whole airbox that has them installed. Sometimes that's how it goes when restoring an old bike. This is sometimes how we all end up with 5 of every used part on the bike.
