The rest looks pretty reasonable assuming it can be put back to Standard.
Those early wings were actually reasonably sporty for their time.
The forks also appear more leading link than Ernie Earles
Earles
Leading link
(the phantom twin first pic) was designed by Spondon before they were even called Spondon.
They built the case patterns at nightschool.

It's a mini swingarm on the front. Can't remember why - talked to a trike guy some years back who had a similar set-up, he swore by it.
He either lost his license or wife put her foot down.

They aren't bad bikes to start with but I've never seen one that has actually been improved to any worthwhile degree.
Yamaha should have a policy of buying back any that are this badly fucked up - and crush them.
