    Followed me home ...

    If you zoom, the lower fork legs are larger diameter than the actual fork tube. My guess is someone slipped those bent legs over the cutoff lower forks and welded them on.

    Need throttle linkage advice

    Take the spring from the throttle shaft top plate going to your cable off. Not needed. That should help as well as the link provided.
