Glad you like it, took six months to do, Ducati tank and seat, Norton straight bars, wheel rims and exhaust from Italy, everything else original. I took the liberty of modifying the frame so I could split it to put the engine back in, saves damaging the paintwork, because you have to stretch the front downtubes to get it together otherwise. Believe it or not, the bike had lain in the hedge bottom of a guys back garden for twenty years 5 miles from my home.

Sold my last S4R to someone on here and tried to contact him to buy it back but unable to trace him. I spotted this one for sale, needed a bit of tlc but all in all very pleased.
