Welcome to the forum.
That will be a very nice period modified bike with a good clean and tidy up. Wicked rear sets, who made those, Dunstal?

Hi @Laverda Dave. Not too sure wether I'll keep the cafe racer look. My aim is to resurrect the bike first then take it from there. Rear sets are not Dunstal. I may be wrong but I think they are one off. I had Dunstal tank, seat etc. on my Norton Atlas. wish I'd never sold it to Pride and Clarke. Cheers Rob.

Welcome to the forum. 👍

Brake hoses outside the fork legs! Looks iffy. 😖
Please tell us that you'll re-route them.

Welcome and the bike looks good to me plus the twin discs are a real bonus.

Cheers

Thanks@taysidedragon. You are right, will definitely reroute the lines.In fact the whole set up looks unsafe. There seems to be a small homemade bracket/spacer on the right caliper mounting ! Cheers Rob.

Thanks @spitfire. Cross channel ferry's got better brakes than my twin discs at the mo'. Will get them sorted soon I hope. Cheers Rob.
