I like the look of the frame, engine etc and detail looks great some long hours has been spent the bike. However the tank and fairings just don't do it or me.

I think someone has gone a bit far with the holes, but I like the concept and there are some neat little touches.

Then again why follow the crowd, doing your own thing is always provocative

On point someone mentions reversing the rear head, you can't do this can you as the cam drive would be on the wrong side? You'd need two front heads, right?

I've got heads/cylinders on the bench now and looking at them, it certainly wouldn't be a straightforward fit as the front head is physically smaller, belt runs in a different position and has the cooling fins laid-out in the opposite plane.

Might be easier to get one made or modify a rear bevel-drive head to fit?
