Thanks for all the comments
I've found a bike, at what I think is a very reasonable price, and am awaiting delivery.
I'm not looking at making it a show bike, just a good solid bike to ride and enjoy, modified and non standard is not an issue as long as it is in all round sound condition.
I'm looking forward to getting out in this wonderful British summertime weather once it arrives.  :)

How exciting....are you going to tell us what you have bought or keep us in suspense until it is delivered?. Whatever it is though...enjoy.

Well Ive received her, thanks to the Bike Bus Company, got her insured through Carole Nash (that's another story!!!) and taken her for a ride.
She is lovely. Runs as sweet as a nut, handles beautifully and is great fun in the cafe racer set up.
I have all the spares to change back to standard (the frame was not cut during the cafe racer build) butvInactually like her as she is.
What do you guys and girls think?

Looks great. I would leave her as she is.

That looks good. I would leave it alone unless you really want to go down the original route and ££££'s it will cost.

Really very nice, I would be inclined to leave it like that with all it's improvements.
