As long as the result is a working motorcycle, and one that is seriously going to be used, you can't do anything wrong by my standards ;)

Of course not, BUT I wouldn't dare riding a perfect restore for fear of damaging it. And IMHO a bike is for riding, a bike that is only looked at is missing its purpose! ;D

In my opinion, I don’t know why you would go to the expense and work that this owner has gone too and not paid a little more attention to detail. Even as perfect restore job the price has got to be on the high side. For that price you are definitely not wanting to have to throw more money at.

If you are going to restore original stock then yes, the devil is in the detail. I am pleased mine is a bit af a bitser. As a first attempt and a shed build, I don't feel under pressure and have some flexibility. It keeps wifely of my case budget wise too.
