1978 F2 Cafe

A really cool guy called Paul Grant has been building me a cafe. Just waiting for spring and Paul can complete the shakedown test rides and she'll be mine. AhaaH.

Looks a bit like my 750F2 in its early days of the conversion...

Hi Baresark,

Nice pipe - what make or is it a custom job?

One day I'll have the time to restore it, not just talk and dream....

It's  supertrapp system that came with the bike. It was such good quality that the headers were reused and the silencer was reworked with a custom end cap.
