Isn't it always?
Don\'t cry because its over. Smile because it happened
Reminds me a bit of this:
"With idiotic intentions come idiotic victories" – Salvage Bultaco franken-bike build log
That looks like something sold in India or Vietnam.
Yuk..........
"Paint it Black until they invent something darker"
Looks like a Tracy quarter fairing, or a close copy...Reminds me a bit of this:

Love the drum brake front ends....
Rod Tingate does some beautiful work. Didn't he build Kim Newcome's Koenig and a few replicas? I have a set of his pull forward clip ons for short bikes and long riders and he did some repair work on my son's TZ after he threw it on the ground going into Turn 1 at Broadford. Tingate does some great work. He's a craftsman. But we all have a different idea as to what makes for aesthetically pleasing.
The nicest Sr500 EVER was a DCM (Dave Camier) and it was dead set gorgeous. Pure sex on wheels. Dreer's Norton isn't bad but it's a bit of a tart's handbag. As for the Britten - it's in a class of one.
