Looks like a half assed restoration for something so unique.

Wrong seat
Wrong Exhaust
Wrong Carb Stays
Wrong Fuel lines
Swing Arm pivot rubber caps missing

I wonder if it really has the early type carbs or not?? This is Pete's area of Specialty wonder if he is gonna play in the auction?

I would guess the Vegas auction will attract some high rollers, and they usually know what they are looking at. However their idea of lunch money and mine, are a fair bit apart . Will be interesting to see how it plays out

Wrong tank stripes
I think the rear plate holder should be black
Coloured fuel lines ! !
Rear footrests should be black not chrome
Wrong cap on front master cylinder.
Looks like the wrong shape grips too.
And since I have tried it many times I know how hard it is to photograph the candy blue/green, but that colour looks wrong; too blue.

Should we email the auction house with all this? :twisted: :twisted:
