Z650B .... Gpz750 motor, which ended up with a Honda cb750 ignition cover, as the original had been smashed. Purchased from a breakers. I couldn;t afford the Harris pipe I craved...so the Motad got chopped, welded, and gutted. Sounded...er....interesting. Dresda swing arm, which was meant for a disc rear end so lacked the correct torque arm mount. Something I sorted later...once I had replaced the broken rear brake which had sheared the torque arm mount clean off. I discovered you can't bodge up brake torque arm mounts.....
The side panels were missing...but I grafted on a pair of GSX400F items I had lying around....which looked OK. Belly-pan was the bottom half of a Gpz600R fairing.
Paint was the result of too much clubbing. White primer base, with a crazy paving pattern in flourescent green, blue and yellow. The picture does not capture the glare...Top it off with some MX bars....and I was ready for anything.

Looks like a Brazilian carnival float !!

And there was me thinking the white wheels and matt black brush painted exhaust were coming back in ....
