Did you get your rock guard from a jeep too? I was going to buy the one from Triumph, but I couldn't believe the price... found it on eBay from a jeep for like $10. Post up your pics!

Exceptional 650 conversion.....I can identify with the amount of work you put into that tasteful work of art.....starting on mine this week....A clean vintage 77D std. I've restored as stock with the usual upgrades...All original parts will be saved.....using another std. tank, will fab. new sidecovers etc....I have a certain early Brit. scrambler/adventure look I want to attain and be on the road by April.....THX for a very interesting post.....

FML...
Went to start it up and get a quick video after figuring out some small issues and the kickstarter wouldnt move. Engine is completely seized now, and the oil is full of metallic dust. I pulled this engine from my cafe project that "just needed carbs cleaned". Guess I am rebuilding my old engine now.
