Agreed with the pipes, looking now. Image
It’s engine and frame suggest it’s a C model, but it was restored with D graphics, clock dash, seat, tail and rear light. Also has later E forks and wheels. So not original, but has most of the good upgrades. Image

the rivet counters would have a melt down lol.. its bloody lovely looking :thumbup: :thumbup:
Cheers, I brought it to ride it. It was half the price of some of the show room Queen I have seen, and they were only mainly cosmetic changes bhp was about the same from what I have read. Image

Yeah it’s running on points and starting 1st kick. Strangely it has a balance pipe on carb intake which was on the E & F models.
