New builder, rake and neck adjustments

Hey everyone, I’m a first time builder and an armchair forums user, so over the past year I have been building a cb750 chopper that I bought, originally it had a giant springer set up and was a bit far from my taste, I started in the engine and replaced all gaskets and rebuilt it to spec, then I removed the springer forks and swapped them for 77 superglide forks and front wheel then changed the rear to matching disc brakes and changed the rear axle to 3/4 and used a matching Harley wheel. In doing this I noticed that the headstock was partially dented and when I inspected I turns out whoever had raked it had only used 14 gauge steel to wrap back around instead of adding a filler where material was cut. I then replaced the neck tube and extended it about two inches. This brings me to a point. The bike is together and I’m working out kinks. I’ve ridden it at low speed. Because my carbs have given me so much trouble being not taken care of previously so I’ve ordered a set of Murray dual carbs as well as an electronic ignition to swap from the points system. I’ve also adapted to a 530 chain instead of the original 630 and change front and read sprockets to back off of torque due to the light nature of the bike. If this is too much I apologize I’m new and am looking for any advice critique or concerns and thank you in advance for any help

Not sure how to upload pictures

If you search - posting photos here from Fliker - it tells you an easy way.

Here in the UK Chopper has a different meaning. ;D ;D ;D

Ah, thank you. I’ll have a look.
Had to use google for that. Y’all are wild
