Not overly keen on this one to be honest, end can is out of proportion and seat ump too. Quality of finish looks very good tho. ( just my humble opinion)
Thanks for sharing. Cheers, Michael

The bike always looks unbalanced to me somehow. Does look very well executed though....

I`m with you on this one I think? If it is a GB, it looks like an XBR tank fitted?? And yes Michael, yours was far better looking!! ;)
