very impressive build and it's great to see you use it,pity the initial stuff was lost in the meltdown but it's a great story that goes from strength to strength.
LOVE it!

Just found this thread, that bike is truly stunning, very impressive, I wish I had the knowledge and expertise to recreate something like that as I love the W650 look.

Thanks "oldtimer".
I've done several projects and this one has turned out much the best because I went for practical rather than radical.

The only on-going probelm I have is the cylinder head which has a crack in it-and leaks oil- but the later unitrack (or 1100R) heads are difficult to come by as a replacement.

I keep looking.
