That's a neat looking restoration - I've always liked the Cafe Racer look - clearly not done on the cheap judging by all the alloy & chromed bling.

Not a fan of cafe race mods either but credit where due that is a lovely looking machine! Well done.

I thought the old Honda Benly 125 was pretty much a production version of a Cafe Racer back in the day with it's knee grip tank, chromed rear coiled dampers etc hard to belive they came out in 1959. I remember seeing them in the car park of the local Techninal College - next to a BSA Bantam it was no suprise that Honda made so many sales in the 1960's.

Quite like that Ted. But must say not my first choice for colour of seat!

Agreed the ones I saw often had clip ons added plus a seat with a rear cafe style stop end black seat.
