SteveD CB500K0:
Here's a couple of my favourite Dresda pictures:

North Weald classic sprint meeting 2006 (Westfield Andy was there too with his Seeley)

Degens on the MCN bike (also summer 2006)

Aly-b:
Agreed,they are very nice bikes in these photographs. 8) 

masonmart:
Last picture's a bit like how my 550 looked back in the day but while Dave is a great hands on engineer his bikes tended to be well back on style compared to Rickmans and Sealeys for example. I think I'll do the tank and seat differently and not have a half fairing.

Bryanj:
As I remember Dave from back in the 70's he didn't care about style just function. Seem to remember that the was a shop specialising in Sunbeams at the other end of the block

masonmart:
All of the bits that need to be restored have now been done and I start assembly tomorrow. Wrt painting of the engine cases, covers, head, barrels, etc., I finally went for different temperature grades of Cerakote which is a baked on ceramic and even better than the two pack epoxy painting that I had done on other restorations.

Just a few examples below



Cylinder head from below, valves cut at triple angle.



And from above



Barrels now finally fitting the casings



Crankcases from the breakers looking a lot better than the original bike's cracked ones.
