Welcome in. Would you like a spoon and fork for your spaghetti? 🍝 👍
Bit of advice. Buy a good bed and a good pair of shoes, because if you aren't in one you'll be in the other.

The vac ports are either m5 or m6 from memory. I used hose tails and them plastic caps to seal the ends, all neatly tucked away behind the frame rail for when I wanted to balance the carbs
Recon Nuggitt may be able to confirm the thread size 👍
