Very impressive Brit. Nice restore 8) are you going to eventually try to find some HM319 stock pipes to go back on the bike. What are those pipes that you are running now.

I will keep looking for a set of stock mufflers that don't cost a fortune, but they seem to be fairly rare.  The ones I am running come from a British site and are for advertised for a Bonney.  They were inexpensive and have a decent throaty sound.  Thanks one and all for the kind comments........

       Whoa, just came across this one. Being a fan of the 450, among some others, I could not keep from checking into this one. And I am sure glad I did. You would never think it had the history it did or that you picked it up so cheaply, considering what it looks like know. Very nice job and I am sure you will get some nice miles out of that one.  8)  ;)
