welcome aboard luke000 i just recently purchased a 84 MK1 in Aug. and have had a lot of fun riding it while i work on and get the 99 RSTD running once that is running good i will be shutting down the 84 to do a slow and complete Restoration to it as has been mentioned pay close attention to the 2nd gear issue, change thee front springs to progressives and the brakes regular oil changes a lot of TLC and you are on your way i am 6'1" @ 250 lbs. and the bike has no problem toting my big a_$ around and last but not least the carbs i think my jets are plugged up some but thats from the bike sitting with ethanol gas in it i say sitting it was cranked and ran but not really ridden for 4 years i run seafoam and/or techron in every and ethanol free gas to help it but does not run like it should good luck with it and i know you will enjoy it for years to come have fun and ride safe -
