    a little tired looking now, but the plan is to turn it into a cafe racer that should look something like the pic below., it will be on a budget coz my daughter wants to be able to ride it as well, and i have never been keen on letting anyone else ride my more expensive builds in the past, so this will be a quick and reasonably cheap build so the whole family can use it as the squirt down the shops bike, and im not sitting back worrying about the shitloads of money i poured into it

    Yeah I've spoken to him on a few occasions when I was contemplating a cafe project. He was more thqan happy to offer advice and swap a tnak over for one of his modded ones for something like $100 bucks. He did a bike for the greenday boys if I remember correctly.

    Ok got it started and it ran well , found a service book under the seat and she was regularly serviced so the only thing i will do to the motor is chuck a dyna S-1 ignition conversion in, I hate points, something else i hate is fuckin phillips head screws, had to use my easy outs set at least eight times today, so stainless button head allen bolts will go back in on the motor, rust is on the rims and exhaust so im thinkin powder coated rims and hubs with stainless spokes for the retro look i'm trying to achieve, basic black on the zorst and polished alloy wherever i can, The tank has a big crease in it so im looking for another, this one will do to help mock up the cafe racer seat, air box will go replaced by pods, battery and electrics will go in tail section,clubman bars up front with maybe a tiny bikini fairing not decided on that yet,lightness will be paramount, any suggestions welcome fellas.
    cheers for now, GK
