Its a nice bike, and its got the later front hub with slightly wider linings, a much better QD rear wheel as well.
front guard looks to be a poor fibreglass repro of an older type.
I quite like the silencer.
not much wrong that a days work cant sort out.

Its the "wrong" carb but it does not matter one bit.
as long as it is jetted right there will be no problem.
you get parts from this club,

Yes, that is right, I was just trying to identify the bike for the owner so that he knows how it should be if he needs parts.
Many earlier and later parts will fit with little problem, I had the
"wrong" later carb on my 1961 16MS and it ran well enough.
