Have you got the two push/pull cables?
Disconnect one at a time a see if there any drag.
Check the friction screw on the twistgrip.
Those are the simple things.

The carbs should have a very strong return spring and there is a screw on the twist grip that slows down the throttle action, try loosening that.

Studs ordered then cancelled by the seller! Ok for now..
Threw it together and after forgetting to turn the fuel on and spluttering to a halt after 1/2 mile..... she runs lovely. Not that revvy, I’m learning to plan my acceleration, I’m very happy. Need to sort the front brake as not that good, but considering it’s lack of use everything runs freely. Had her up to 75 with no drama, that’ll do for me :-)
I know it looks different but it’s what I’ve got and I’m pleased so far!

Result !! Looks good and now running lets you get things done bit by bit :)

Always good to get out and ride something you've been working on.
Looks good too, would like to hear how those pipes sound :D
To add something to the heavy throttle concerns, Honda specify quite a bit of slack in the twist grip which is only adjusted by the pull cable. If you take this out, the two cables having different run routes will conflict and significantly raise the effort needed at the twistgrip.
As a check for this, rotate the steering to full lock both sides at which you should still be able to feel rotational slack with the grip.
