Good Lord that's looking splendid old fellow :!:
Almost a shame to cover up all that effort with the bodywork. This is going to be a rare 650 indeed when it's complete.
You deserve that cider mate well done.... from Mark

My thoughts exactly, the more i look at the pics, the more i notice. Like the master cylnders, billet oil filler cap, Dyna coils, breather hose... i could go on....

Whatever style, you will not be dissapointed - quality :up
