    I agree. Good looking machine....

          I'm not a fan of the cafe' jobs personally but that is the best one I've ever seen! Nice looking seat and paint. Noticed the holes in the sprocket cover as well. \
          Very Nicely done- Beautiful!!!!

              I like it too. Except for a few small details such as the tail light, front fender chop, and the 66 on the tank, it could be a factory version. The seat is really cool, and fits the tank extremely well.

              It reminds of the 1969 Norton Atlas I built in the Seventies. I was shooting for the look of a factory bike that might have been.... It was needing replica Gold Star mufflers, which were not readily available at the time.

                        That is cafe done right. The seat is remarkably well made for it.

                            nicely done, looks like it would be a fun bike, although with those clip on's my back would never let me hear the end of it.

                              A nice change from the showroom floor liter bikes that usually make it.
