The HL 80 I think must go down as one of the best builds in the history of the forum. there is something about building mini versions full size bikes, like scale modeling./

Are you launching another project bike Bill.

 I don't think it is expensive. There's likely  virtually no parts to buy so very little hidden costs.
 It's the bits and pieces that push costs through the roof.

I know someone who has a genuine HL500 motor sitting in his shed. It was taken out of a HL500 many years ago. The rest of the bike was sold but he still has the motor.

That's because the originals were put together in small batches and the frames were hand made by Brian Curtis who's work (as you correctly noted) is magnificent.

When my Curtis Honda was at the platers Pat French happened to see it and commented on the beatiful work.  So if Pat French (who is about as good as it gets) says the work is stunning, then for me at least, that speaks volumes about the beauty of Brian's work. 

He is also a very nice chap (from the same Town that Jenson Button grew up in)
