Out of interest, what on the bike is still as it came from the factory in 1936?

I see Skudd is feeling better...
Cylinder head....1936 but ported, gas flowed and bored out.
Valves are BSA and springs Porsche, valve caps BSA Gold Star .
Rockers 1936 but lightened and polished
Barrel was cast in 2010 to take the modified Velocette piston.
Con rod 1936 but lightened and polished with small end opened up to suit piston.
Crank Shaft 1936 but polished and opened up for larger big end.
Cases 1936 but modified for through bolting and larger and extra bearings.
Cam Ariel but 1930
Mag 1950 but I will be building a 1930s racing model but with electronic internals.At present it runs a non standard eay adjust sprocket I got from Australia.
Carb 1950s Amal GP racing with twin float chambers modified for methanol.
Oil pump standard but modified to deliver greater flow.
Timing cover was cast in 2010 and has extra window to access mag timing without removing entire cover
It goes on...
Gearbox is modified from four to three gears rear-setted using the remnants of the kickstarter shaft as the lever spindle. Primary ratio are non standard and cush drive is from a heavyweight BSA twin of the 50s.
Clutch is Ariel but modified to take extra load by adding non standard plates heavy springs and extra plate, it has also been severely lightened to allow faster changes.
Frame is Ariel of the period but with a lot of metal removed.
Rear hub is standard but with a lot of metal removed for lightness.
Do not even think about the front end, forks are Honda Crosser with a twin leading shoe brake.
Tank is Bultaco.
Oil tank is Ali camping fuel bottle.
Saddle, made from plywood, camping mattresses and a leather skirt I purchased second hand from ebay, it still smells of prostitute.
Apart from that it is all as it came out of the factory in 1936.
