A good friend of mine has just picked up this. I'll get some more pics on Friday on our weekly meet up.

I think Norton/Machless were the first mass produced Cafe-Racer. Probably the best. but they were expensive. Check out the new Norton's, they are something else if your into that. A lot of the Dyna's are trending in that direction, mine is.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

There is a picture thread in the Sportster section on Cafe racers. Lots of good pictures.

YES! Exactly like that one. Had one for a short time but sold it cheap. No one wanted them when the cruiser deal exploded in the 80's. Now I wish I hadn't sold it, they bring a nice dollar now.
