Finally got the carbies all sorted/refurbished, bike seems to be running fine. Looks like she might be on gumtree or eBay again.
Bike is in to good condition to chop up, so decided to sell and move on. Have managed to find a bloke with a stock seat pan,trim and cowl (have not purchased yet, but will pass on details to new owner if required). Stock air box and side covers are now fitted.

Hoping for 3k not to sure on what she is worth or how much to advertise.

Cheers Jason

You have a keen eye, John!
Looks like a pair of RH forks /brakes hung off the Standard E triple tree. Would make the steering steady, to say the least.
