Welcome!
I happen to be building a similar machine right now. If you examine the rear triangle (or subframe), you'll see a stud on either side that doesn't seem to have a purpose. On the left side, it is located just above and to the left of the battery, and there is another on the right in a coresponding spot. The frame is almost identical to the early 80's Honda XR185 / XR200, and those studs would be used for twin shocks. If you want to get the bike a little lower (and more street tracker-like), twin XR200 shocks on the back and XR200 forks on the front is one way to go.
As well, the early XR200 gas tank is almost a drop-on fit, since the frames are so similar. I haven't sorted the front wheel out yet, other than lacing an 18" rim to the XR200 front hub and using the drum brake.
You and I can compare notes as we go along.
