Don't worry I’m nor a purist, each to his own is more my view.... Looks like you have plenty to keep you busy there... shame about the Marshall pipe, I’ve no idea of its value but it must be very rare to find one in that condition, it would suit anybody who is trying to build a special but in the 80’s style.... I haven’t seen one fitted to a classic honda for decades and I’ve certainly looked at plenty in the last few years...

Refreshing to hear, I know people have strong opinions in the vintage community. I guess my plans are somewhat odd in that I'm not going OEM or cafe/brat etc anyway. It seems never ending sadly!
Thanks for the info, I hadn't appreciated it was a period and unique piece. The dent to the pipe is certainly a great shame and something I hadn't noticed at the time. I'm hoping to find a new owner who will appreciate it and put it to good use, soon to be up for grabs anyway. The delkevic that I've picked up certainly seems the business for me at least.
Safo:
Nice finish on the forks and mudguards, looks great, hope all goes well
Bryanj:
