There is a bike builder /specialist in the Sussex who had to travel to a Honda sohc specialist in Bilsthorpe, Notts' to get a CB750 set up & tuned which he had built but he could not set it up right.. this guy at Bilsthorpe is arguably the best in the business.

If you happen to be thinking of the 2nd May Spring Bank Holiday, 27th & 28th May,
my other club, the Ducati Monster Owners Club, are holding their annual get together at the Metropole Hotel in Llandrindod Wells, mid-Wales.
And Sunday we should have a few Ducati test bikes there to rides.
Alas, it's a bit too far from London to mid-Wales on my Café Racer so I'll be taking the Monster.

ok, here it is. I think it sounds lovely, 4-into-4 , with baffles in there so it isn't massively noisy at all. https://youtu.be/LaFyrkWD_yg

Oddjob, the sump plug did also have a drip so it could be from both.
Will get them to have a good check over when it's back in for some remedial work around the bike.
Thanks everyone

Thanks Mr Davo,
I was thinking there should be one too, like everywhere there's oil right ?

Yes, remiss of me not to have posted a video yes but I'll get round to it. It's been running in very well so far, but having a oil drip from a couple of bolts underneath, one of the sump plug but what's this other one  On the left had side.

It was only delivered late on Sunday and this damned thing called a day job has kept me busy for a couple of days, but tomorrow I'm taking the day off for as many miles as I can muster on it.
The Oil filler is in the top of the new oil reservoir , which is hidden under the tank. So petrol tank removal to get at it.
And the number plate is now fixed on a special bracket that was bolted to the bottom of the right rear suspension support, just not for these photo's

It is an electric start. The Kickstarter is kept for looks

Of course it's street legal. I have a headlight, horn, indicators, registration, road tax, road tyres. Everything it needs. There might be a question over the size of the number plate when it's fitted, but I'll distract the policeman by showing him the rest of my shiny bike.

Silly question: where may you ride it?
It's not a silly question at all. I'll ride it anywhere I like. Only the small seat will restrict me. It's not a garage piece just to look at. It was always going to be fully functioning and road worthy. The estimation is that the power output is up about 50% but can't fully sure until it's run in then put on a Dyno for a full test. Capacity went from 750 cc to 836 cc anyway.

Thank you all.
It took none of my sweat and tears, but great collaboration and design.
The oil tank is hidden on the inside of the right side of the petrol tank. A really nice bit of fabrication with a loss of fuel capacity, but lets not kid myself that this is a long distance tourer.
Rear hump houses a new lithium battery.
A motogadget M-Unit takes care of all the wiring for various devices and most of the wiring back to front is buried inside the frame tubing.
It is , up close, once of the nicest custom builds I've ever seen, and that's not just because it's now mine.
The bike will be run for the first time this week and then off for its M.O.T and I'll be on it very soon.
Though as most of the engine is new inside it'll need some running on, especially as the crank shaft had to be remade.

And So after 9 months of design and planning and building, my bike has been finished. I have done none of this myself.
