Well the parts are married together, no real reason why they should not run. There appears to be a missing fin from the barrel or the head. The head has a spigot for the exhaust and the pipe from a 57 will definitely not be the right angle.

Thank you very much Clive and Alanengineer for your precious advises .

Perhaps you will see me again in a few weeks for others questions .

I decided to take the risk and i bought the bike , also because the price is rather low .
The risk is weak . 1000 Euros . Sum of spares cost more .

It will be easier for me to put the new on the road and have mine like the donor .

Just have to put my aloy head-cylinder , with my carb and my exhaust , buy a new seat
and it is running . ( Hope so )

Best regards

JR

I like your new bike and i think i would get that running the way i want it and then spend the time in getting the first bike into a more original form.
best of luck
