I've seen bits of this before.  I don't recall if it was here at WG.  Apologies if that was the case.

Always nice to see the ugly duckling beautiful swan transformation.

Suzuki Savage > Ryca Motors may be the most famous conversion.

Not sure I would call it an ugly duckling...

 My better half would ride one and may be the perfect bike for her.

Not so fugly ugly...I’d suggest Nevada’s deserve some credence. After all they are the basis of the V9 Roamer and Bobber. The small blocks grew up into V85..

V50, V65c—into Nevada —-into V9 Roamer/Bobber

, V65sp into new V7, 2, 3, and now the V850.

I didn't make the connection at first, but you are right.  I'd bet a couple weeks pay that the Bultaco Alpinas were the inspiration for the paint scheme.
