I'd like to know why the OP would want to ride it and what makes Black Betty a "build"?

Too me it looks like another tired old Honda that needed money spent on maintenance and wear parts. The forks indicate they haven't been serviced, the shocks look original. What has been done to the bike other than the bars, switches and headlight?

Mufflers may have been replaced with something that looks like it was pulled off of a truck or 70s Vette leg burners.

Enforcement in USA, no idea, but your DOT is the same thing as my DOT up here in Canada and I am familiar with that and I know what will get you pulled over if you ride it up here.

In the great USA DOT enforcement can vary greatly. Some places you can put anything on the road in other locations you can get popped for everything from lighting colors to db output. This can vary by county and officer. At the moment I am trying to find someone that will push a 150cc 2t SM through for me to use on my mini commute for the summer. I really don't want to ride the big bikes on those days. It may or may not happen.
