You have to look at the external lines going to the heads under the carbs. If they are small black painted aluminum tubes that come from above...
What is this world coming to where Matt is the voice of reason? We are in a sad state of affairs my friends.....
You'll need to pull the cam(s). Bear in mind that I'm not sure if the rockers are available anymore from Honda. Parts availability is a problem....
That's the dreaded top end issue. Keep in mind that the cam lobe is actually the second thing to go - the rocker is the first. If you pull the...

You don't want to make front end changes to adjust for the rear - you want to address the rear with the rear. By that I mean you would want to...
Correct, the rear wheel does not need to be removed to install the shock.
I'm 215lb and it's WAY overdamped. I mean like double what it should be. The spring rate in the forks is ok for my weight but the stock rear was...
