His partner inherited the bike and kept it in dry, heated, storage in Vancouver until I bought it in September 2013. It had not run for more than ten years. According to his partner, the owner ‘did a ground up restoration’ in 2000-2001. My only proof is a Polaroid photo of the bike with the head off, and that the bike runs beautifully. That photo is dated ‘March 01’. Lucas AB11 electronic ignition installed. Everything works. 

A friend of mine judges British motorcycles at Vancouver's large All British Field Meet.  He assesses my bike as a notch below 'concourse' on the Hagerty Insurance scale.  The reason it is not 'concourse' is because there are non-original elements to the bike, such as the LED lighting and the single Mikuni…

Very special Featherbed Café Racer.  850 Norton engine, fitted with an Alton electric starter.  BELT final drive.  LOTS of stainless steel, new Sun rims, engine and transmission rebuilt, electrical system redone, LED lights everywhere, new tires.  The cost of parts alone is less than the asking price, just getting too old to ride with clip-ons.

I am sure that there is something I forgot. Point is that the bike has had a lot of time and money spent to make it into a reliable daily rider. Has never left me on the side of the road. Starts on the first or second kick.

Has a few period parts Dunstall fairing. Not in the best shape. Can see some poorly done repairs. Dunstall pipes, sound great! Rearsets, I think…
