That would make sense ..you would have thought they would have fitted a set of Yamiyas Lotus Root pipes ... they had stocks last time I looked.

James .. what made you think it's Roger E's place not DS's ? An awful lot of NOS stuff lying about. And DS has been selling seats on eBay recently ... there's quite a few seats lying around.
The sandcast boys are getting hot under the collar that the bike is being 'tarted' up to fool people and they are saying it's no way like the originality of the blue/green one Vic World sold. Interesting !! I believe that bike was part of a swap deal once for the press bike YLY 70H . Cant be sure though.

Was purely a hunch Ash. I seem to remember DSS using Roger for his ‘rarer’ restoration work - could be completely wrong and a case of 2+2=5. We need Mick’s ‘slueth’ skills really

I think the sleuthing has already been done......the quantity of NOS early parts speaks volumes; however, I would be very surprised if DSS stored vulnerable parts like that on open shelving, it doesn't look organised and it doesn't look very safe.
The bike itself looks a bit of a mixture of old and new, but it's fascinating just to get a look at it as the only previous images have been from way back when.
I hope they scoured the place where it was stored for parts and got everything there was.
It does look like it's had a knock at some stage given the damage to the tank and the non painted tinware at the front end.
What a great bike to get involved with though, real once in a lifetime stuff.
Mick.
