like the seat on cb 200 but not the 2into 1 or the way the frame just ends under the seat,2nd photo, the silencer is too short in my opinion &i don't like the rear light down there on green bike,otherwise quite nice

love the first bike, especially the twin light back end.

that red bike might be a 400/4, engine looks quite wide. a dunstall 4 into 2 would look great on that & a loop welded on to follow the line of the seat. i like it ! i'd probably have a go at lowering clocks & headlight as well.

My, my, you are a busy boy! Love the 550 BTW, and is that a BCR tank and seat unit? Beautiful! Cool

Thanks man. Yes, that was a rather pricey custom order and took nearly a year to receive but in the end I think it was really worth it.

Godffrey, I just LOVE your perspex timing covers, do you make them yourself or is there a company your side of the pond that supplies them?
