Anti Seize is no longer necessary on modern plugs since the threads are zinc platted. Just keep in mind if the threads are shinny, you don't need Anti Seize.

@@kevinon4wheels can appreciate the reasoning behind putting our immediate concerns ahead of our own personal cares. You chose one of the easiest to care for makes, model's, and year's to put back in working order. So glad you got her up and running as you did, since they make some of the best bike's to restore and ride for someone who doesn't want to bury all their livelihood into. Pray your very well, and most healthy, Kevin. Best wishes.

If you clean out the tics vacuum rail it will idle much smoother and the throttle response will get crisper. But nice work man.
