Thanks I have put not quite 1000 miles on it since I picked it up. Made a few adjustments, new seat, new levers, new clutch slave just to make it a bit more comfortable. Needs some new rubber.

I have really enjoyed it despite the record rain fall since I picked it up. I believe this winter I may do a total tear down in search of some more hp. I puts out 100 bhp from the factory but I would like a bit more. I also need to tweak the final drive ratio and give it some more sound. Until the cold weather sets in I am keeping it on the road.

I'll take some shots soon and post them.

I stand corrected. I was thinking of the Urals as the BMW based bike. Good to hear Enfield has improved their machines. They really are great looking bikes and deserved a good motor.

Any new projects on the winter horizon? I'm finally getting around to my Buell build up (or is it down?)m

Saw these at Barber last weekend at the vintage festival

This bike was built by a 22 yo kid, Suzuki Savage frame and engine. Had a rear disc on the c/s sprocket.

That's Trucker on DMF. You can see part of the build here, the guy has got some talent. The entire thread is worth a browse if you like to see stuff built from scratch.

My friend Joe just finished making this bike. His metal fab skills are second to none! I've seen this bike in person and it's really a looker

He's selling it here...

That haunting picture of the cute girl on the cafe racer should be placed on each page of this thread.

The rear of the frame has been moded. I wonder what this started life as?

A Ducati?

My WAG would be from a Monster. The older style, before the current butchery job. It doesn't look like a frame off a SuperSport.

OK.

Yeah that seems right. Tail chopped FI monster.

They've been trying to build that Norton for years. It started off as some project up by Portland, OR when I lived there for a year. Can't recall the price, but it was somewhere along the lines of what the average family earns in a year. Then that company somehow fizzled and it's being continued by another group.

Too bad! It's beautiful.

Yup, that's the one.
