Seat color - first thing that struck me. Maybe a darker tan, a brown, or even a grey.

Not a drip pad, non skid pad so kick stand does not slip.

Cool bike, bet it is light

I'm going to be That Guy. Shocks look wrong - I know that are probably Ohlins. Front end take is Uber touring. Motor looks to be sagging. I love cafes, and don't really have the skills to build one but this one does not do it for me.

yeah, the rear shocks look wrong on the boxer, but they probably work well. Motor has to be like that so the driveshaft lines up.

Agreed...would like to see those Ohlins springs black anodized...or Burgundy like the main color.
.
Also, the gear select rod is in the way of the kick starter...but owner is obviously wanting to retain the looks of the old kick starter.
.
Note: I had two Beemers with that kick starter...learned how to kick them while sitting on the seat.
Also, back then, late 60's, both f & r wheels had ring gears ...so the front could be swapped to the rear.
.
Still, nice looking rig.
