Mate, that looks fantastic, can't really spot too many non era correct parts on it so I wouldn't worry too about that at all.  She's a sweet looking ride  :smitten:

holy shit rakas were did you get that? i see that on the tube at baker street about 3 - 4 years ago and tried to buy it, offered him 200 notes but he wouldnt sell it said he had had it since bitd

yeah he did say that he was offered that in london.  he's an old mate and sold it to me for £75 on condition that i didn't sell it on so it kinda stays in the family.

Very nice, where did you get it chromed ?

my mate runs a plating business but i dont think he realy likes doing bikes, i'll ask him if he wants some extra work, if so i'll post his address and number up here...
