Merry Christmas from Australia

My 550 has been looking lonely so I thought I'd build it a 550cc mate from all my leftovers/seconds. This may take many christmas's to become a complete motorcycle! Don't ask how much... ok I'll confess, I payed a LOT for it - $600.00 on ebay (at least it was free shipping from S.A.).
 There is a set of new fork ears available on ebay - but at $579 I just couldn't pull the trigger on those! I am building a bitsa after all!
