Apart from the overuse of red paint I quite like it, the thing I would be most interested in though is how the oil cooler is plumbed in

Interesting but far too much mix and match for my taste
1961 A10SR, spent a fortune at SRM
1961 A7SS, finally the right green
2011 1937 Empire Star, twin port, high pipes, 2023 off to pastures new.
2022 Gone to the dark side and bought a 1981 Honda Benly, electric leg for my old age! done 450 miles!
2023. 1972 Honda CL350 added. Another electric leg bike with a bit more oomf

Yes, just too much red, GPO transfer would not seem out of place.
 but otherwise, I think it is OK (Gaiters one experience with them is enough for me, where are the good ones)

It's simply plumbed into the return line from the pump.

I like it and may learn to live with the red. Would be fun to ride it and see what it goes/stops like.

It makes me think of an Egli special
However I always shudder when I see an OIF front end in a dry frame.
See way too many very badly and quite dangerously done.

It would look great in my stable. Shame it's so far away. I'm watching to see how much it goes for.

Its a definite yes from me. The colour is a bit bright and there are a couple of small things that need attention but overall its probably one of the best "specials" I have ever seen. It would be a great bike to ride.
