Got it home and its way better than I had hoped for so may go for a standard restoration. Doesn't seem right to cut a bike that can be saved.
What's this talk of cutting up have I missed something here?

Doesn't seem right to cut a bike that can be saved.You may be able to use something like a 750 F1 tank and fabricate a seat pan to have as the only significant mods (leave all frame alone) to get something different from std look with little work (Attachment Link) (Attachment Link) That F1 looks amazing but Im moving away from clip ons. The 2nd pic was what I had in mind and would involve cutting the back of the frame.Im still thinking and it will take a while to strip and sort the engine so plenty of time.Of this ilk- ish, and fully returnable to stock.
Luckily, on both mine and Triggers mongrels, the only thing that Graham cut off was the back end of the frame and welded in a hoop and removed the seat hinges. This is easily reversable, just remove the hoop and weld the back end back on and the seat hinges. All the other frame tabs are still in situ in their original positions.
