Unbelievable - this is amazing.  Thanks so much

This is my first full bike restore so im a total noob here. 

I'm hoping someone can help out with the following:

1. manuals/wiring diagrams

2. missing parts: accelerator pump (or a full mikuni carb if can't get pump alone), seat, top end gaskets, chain (not sure recommended chain), all lights excluding the headlight

3. do i need a battery to run all electrical appliances or is it possible to not rely on battery? 

Thanks, and apologize if there are any stupid questions here.
