The frame appears light, just looking at it. I wonder what the weight difference from stock is and whether you can at least torque down the top end without pulling the engine. I also wonder what the dif is between stock and Seeley steering tube angles. Sure is cool looking though!

Nice find indeed - whereabouts is it, NZ?

Az, total weight of frame & swingarm is 12kg, and yes you can even remove the head without pulling the engine. Head angle is generally thought to be 1 degree tighter, and the wheelbase an inch shorter.

More info & the Seeley Register's gallery are on Axl's site

sadly it's not mine.  this bike was built in christchurch NZed in 1978 and had all the goodies, it was pretty quick, I use to race against it on my GS1000 back in the day. she hasn't gone for at least 15 years, but Don the present owner is putting her back together to race  ;D
I've been going thru my old pics to find it in all her glory but only found one which I've given to Don
