Not a bad looking take on the cafe racer theme,using a Harley lump.

That's quite nicely done. Wouldn't want to ride it (oooh me poor old wrists) but it looks quite smart.

I've always liked the Harley engine, it's good to see it something other than a Harley. I know this bike isn't one for the purists but bollox to 'em :lol: Not quite sure why they couldn't fit a big enough front mud guard though.

Still kinda want a Buell actually, but fuck me they sound shonky!

Looks better with the stainless front mudguard in the link than the silly black one, but overall I quite like it, even the paint and seat colours 🤔

Although I'm not a fan of the colour I rather like that... but I think the riding position would be a bit too much for my back these days :(
