It looks better then the original thats for sure! Would have been easier to put clip ons in the forks instead of the extreme pipework from the triple clamp...

...Been looking at a few Rickman metisse's today....
Spent a few hours looking around the NMM (naitional motorcycle museum) and the bronze welding on their early frames is pure art. Wink
