Vince and G-Man, they even tell you that he was 13 1/2 stone and wearing a two piece suit and overboots, I wonder if he was lying flat along the tank and seat Rollie Free style, as recommended in Hondas CB92 ? owners manual for top speed. This was obviously back when men were men and health and safety was not invented of course.

Re: Top speedAnyone see that the license plate bracket is painted SILVER?. .................lm
Re: Top speedLM
Yes the tail light bracket on mine was silver (although very rusty). Do you see the carb over flow pipes running to the back of the engine? These 1961 bikes are very interesting. I am just about to reassemble a pair of original shocks and even these have slightly different dimensions. You can also see which cables are black and which are gray. This is my taillight bracket. Note the extra breather tubes which were run from drilled-out condenser bracket holes in the cam cover.  G

You seem to have original carb overflow tubes as well. Do they just run between the two rear engine mounts? G

To answer your questions : - no, I have no 10 mm head, I gave the last spare away. - I don't know if the foot peg rubbers you show are original, hard to distinguish. - Yes, the overflow tubes goes there, the bike is original, but not perfect, so not sure if original Jensen assembly of Japanese motorcycles requires great peace of mind (Pirsig)
