Such wonderful bikes remember as a kid the police using them and also seeing the last mk111 interstates for sale in local dealers window enjoy it fella
Love you no nonsense approach, not over thinking and fussing to this resto project. So many of us get discouraged by watching some of the other restorations from others where their goals seem to be show bike oriented.
Well...a few days ago I did do a quick tally on parts, paint and supplies... it's not much more than an educated guess, but I think that it came to somewhere in the neighbourhood of $4500.00 - $5000.00. I expected it to be quite a bit more, but I saved a lot of money on not having to purchase new rims and spokes and not having to have any machining done on the cylinders or crank.
Your doing a fantastic job.😀

Any taly of cost would be interesting to see.

Nice job you have done on it, looks sweet!
Fantastic looking bike, and great job, how satisfying that must be.
You get a Zero Defects award!
