....from this being in its component parts (though the motor was almost complete and freshly rebuilt): -

Although I'm still running it in, it's as much of a hoot as you'd expect! :D

That's identical to the one I had - and sold for far too little.
Lovely bike. :D

Very Nice Coose! I did notice you'd been absent! LOL.

Looks very tidy indeed!

Very nice, I had an early 31K one, had it tuned by Stan Stephens and put Jim Lomas pipes on it, added about 20mph to the top speed.

Cheers all, it's just about run in now and is as much of a hoot as it looks. The bodywork looks better in the pics than it is, but I have another set of (uncracked) sidepanels and it'll be going black with N2 graphics over winter. It may be appearing at Cadwell on the 22nd if all goes to plan... :)

And, would you believe that there are a couple of left-over bits from my J in there somewhere, but you can't see them... :wink:
