Very good looking job there Billy. Looks really odd having no oil pressure warning light in idiot light cluster, I know with the roller bearing crank there is no real need, but after many years of shell bearing crabks, it seems so strange! Good luck with the M.O.T.

Mmmmmm brown 
I'm ashamed to say I like it.  am I right in thinking they fire both pistons at the same time.

No, they're 180 degree cranks, like the CB450 it suoerseded. Even when other twins (CB175/200 etc) have pistons that rise and fall together, they fire each one every other cycle

A very cool looking bike.

A very cool looking bike.

I'd be 99% certain it is a Rickman rack, so period to the bike.
I always thought they made nice looking racks.
I managed to find one for my 400, actually through a 'Desperately Seeking' post on these forums.
I don't know how specific they were to individual models but suspect that if you found one from another
make and/or model then as long as the basic dimensions are correct (width across shocks and length of
arms) then a bit of bracketry could be sorted for mounting.

I love this bike

correct it is a Rickman rack, was on it when i got it and cost 120 to re chrome :-) but well worth it
