That picture of you riding the bike Dennis is iconic of the late 60's & early 70's - suberb!

Thanks for sharing Dennis. Bike looks awesome. Do you recall the engine / vin numbers??
I also see the bars on yours are relatively high. The only bars I can find in the pile of spares that I think are from this particular bike are of the low UK type...which is what I’m planning to use for the rebuild...
JamesH:
Reunited the frame and engine this evening. Now the fun can begin building her back up.
Frame ready to accept the engine:
Engine sitting nice and square for dropping the frame ‘over’:
Et viola!:
Few more bits back from polishing ready for the next stage of rebuild:
Picked up a NOS rectifier for the build a few weeks ago:
Plan is to use the low UK type bars that I believe were fitted to this from new:
Note the additional ‘p’ position on the RH controls:

Much as I admire your bike building skills James, I see no violas.
Is there a special bracket or was it particular to the transition model?

Auto-correct fail (that’s my excuse anyway).
