The transformation continues. I've got the luggage rack/pannier carrier made and fitted. I think it's looking pretty close to what I was aiming for now. I've had to replace the indicators to so that the panniers aren't positioned too widely.
Might want to replace the forks with some shrouded ones, but that's probably a job for next year now. Just need to get the rack painted and I'm good for now.
BTW, this isn't a bike for the sake of being pretty. It's a practical bike to let me go nice places and do good things. I've racked up a 1,000 miles in the last month and enjoyed them all.

Great looking bike, hopefully I will see it scooting around the lanes in Cambridgeshire?

Err....other than the khaki and name badge what's WD/CO about it?

If I understand the original poster correctly, it's meant as a Euro IV tribute bike rather than a replica, though the modern bobber exhaust wrap and Goldie pattern silencer don't really suggest early 1940's-style military accessories!

Hiya, yes, exactly. Tribute not replica. Much like the Pegasus. What's WD about it? The main things are the saddle and pillion pad, which I think are both 40's era style, as well as the panniers and y-straps. I couldn't get an actual WD-pattern rear carrier / rack, because the classic obviously has a different frame and suspension. But I think the rack that has been made places the panniers in the right position for a WD-bike and from a distance has similar look/function. The wrap - yeah, not period, but it covers and ugly joint on the downpipe, and the goldie exhaust - yeah, not my choice, was on the bike when I got it. I would be really interested in any ideas for how to stay with the Euro IV function, but get a better WD look

Re-fit an original Euro IV exhaust, but sprayed/coated heat-resistant matt silver? Better than black, IMHO.
