The engine stand is a home build by the previous owner that he included with the purchase.Looks really nice. Which engine stand did you go with and would you recommend it?
I have several things to sort yet but and more pictures to add to my Restore/Rebuild Thread but I couldn't resist putting on the tank and seat today for a look....

Thanks, RPW! I have been debating as to whether or not to put the knee pads back on the tank. I have never been a big fan of them. I kind of like the "shadow" effect that the unfaded paint gives of their former presence...Hi Happyfeet,
You should change your name to Happywheels.
What a great decision you made to keep the original paint, the restoration work looks beautiful, with just the right amount of patina to give credibility. I love what you have done with this bike.
regards
Peg.
A fantastic achievement, well done Happyfeet! Good decision about the knee pads, just keep riding and the paint under the pads will gradually fade as well, should take about 50 years😀I kind of like the "shadow" effect that the unfaded paint gives of their former presence...
