G'day Tomcat.
Very nice mate. The Lyta tank really sets it off. Is that a Bunn breather under the tank?
Cheers

Thanks for the replies.  54 weeks after i started with a US spec Super Rocket I was able to ride an A10 for the first time. The reality lives up to the dream!!  *loveit*Just working on the tank and seat, and will get new siamese pipes after I've blued the old ones!
 The tank is an Indian A65 Spitfire job. Does not easily fit an A10 and am currently resolving that  *work* by altering the rear lower section, fixing their F ups and then give the seat a bit of a haircut also. Muskrat, the breather pipe was welded to the rocker cover, so i just ran with it.
