Brian,
Thanks for the compliment. I have nowhere near as much work in it as you do in your 550. It had an original 16K miles when I got it, it had a charging problem and was basically stock. I did some plug and connector replacements, rewiring and stator clean-up, did the clubmans, and new tailight/signals--that's pretty much it--the PO had it pretty well polished and clean--he was selling because he got a Harley and couldn't source the charging problem.(the main plug from the stator was toast, and one of the wires from the stator was broken where it came out of the cover).
My original intent was to totally cafe it with the Dunstall/clubmans, rear sets, etc., but it was in too nice of shape--it is pretty comfortable to ride in its current set-up with the stock length seat--so it is staying as-is.
Speaking of--how is the riding position on your 550? I love the rear-sets/seat/bars configuration you are running.
