Looks like a proper riding machine. Mine is a 38VH and it's all pleasure.

If you want the experts to list everything that's not original you will probably have to ask them for it!

MPH (not KPH) speedo - unusual on a continental bike? Is that original or something that's been fitted just to fill the hole??
(Not being critical - just quite curious! :) )

Yes I know much parts I know these are not original,
Some is modified for german road like speedometer.
The carburetor is a dellorto racing carburetor.
The other parts I don't know so clear me up.
What's original and what's not fit.?

Be careful that the wood does not catch fire :shock:

Just thinking about a wooden building in Austria.

Oh, really nice bike by the way. Just ride it and enjoy.

Just enjoy it and don't worry about originality. the important thing is that it is roadworthy - considering its age it has the right to have a few non-=original components; things do wear out or simply get broken!
