Yes I see what your saying about the rear view. It is actually a bit of a camera angle thing, it's not too bad. I would have just tucked it in a little more if I had been making it. Sounds really good though. Just had a photo back from Menno about the tank, good job I sent it to him really.

Hi all,
Just a brief update on where I'm at, and boy I'm slow at this!
Everything has been removed now, with the exception of the oil tank and wheels which should be off tomorrow hopefully.
James here on the SOHC forum kindly swung by mid week and provided me with the Supersport tank I was after (shown in last picture), which has saved me countless hours scrolling through eBay - so thank you so much for that!
Next steps (although unsure of order) will be send the hubs off to have new 18" front and back wheels made up, cut down the frame to weld on a seat hoop and install the new rear sets.
Now... off to order parts and spend all of my hard earned cash!

Make sure when you cut the rear off the frame, not to cut too much off. If it is too short, it looks stupid ;)

Any development on progress?. Your saying you like the Carpys exhaust, have a look at cyclexchange based in hazel hurst USA, has some great parts and namely exhausts. Looks like you have chain ring missing from rear sprocket. Looks a very clean bike to start with and should be easy to work on. Did the engine run?.

Definitely going to be doing the 4-into-1 pipe!
I've been looking at the Yoshimura style one from Carpy's Cafe Racers http://carpyscaferacers.com/shop/shop-our-store/motorcycle-parts-accessories/honda-cb500-cb550-cb750-parts-upgrades/cb750-4-into-1-exhaust-sohc/ - does anyone have any thoughts on this or know if anywhere in the UK I can get something similar for the same price (around £600 delivered)?
