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

Veery nice - I dig it...........

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.

Yorkie 08-07-2017 09:19 AM

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.

Don Ro 08-07-2017 11:12 AM

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.

Sometimes we have to take things on their own terms and not compare. ;)
