Granted the forks and steerer tube are longer but I would imagine that wouldn't be too hard to alter or, just use clip-ons to lower the bars.
Interesting build though but I have to ask, where do you find these £500 base bikes?

it is a Tonti frame... but the swinging arm is a lot longer, the forks are longer, as is the head stock. I did consider shortening things, but its a lot of cost/work and I didn't want to go down the cafe racer look... more hybrid bobber type look
I have been very lucky in the past buying bikes... I do a blog which a lot of people follow, and a few times I have mentioned I am looking for another bike to build, and people contact me and offer me stuff... Also on Facebook, people contact you with offers of bikes....
