Bobber or Cafe

Cafe
So I have decided a direction. I found a fairing/body kit from Airtech. I am leaning towards the HARLEY XR750 TT ROAD RACER clone. Roughly$1200 for the tank, fairing and seat pan. Need to get some other parts together as well. Shocks and clip on or clubman bars and an exhaust. Any thoughts?

Cafe Racer , for the most part were just standard bikes, at the time BSA, Triumph, Norton etc, to me getting a cafe racer correct is to recreate the line of the bikes as they were then (flat seat line, rake, wheel size, slim tires, FENDERS, etc), most guys could not afford race bike inspired parts, but the ones that could got the aluminum tank and rear sets and cowl seat, most guys went with Clubman or Clip-on bars and played with carb settings, keeping the stock seat (flat seat at the time).
So, again, for me it's about getting the line of the bike as per the period, so many I see look to me nothing more than a bobber with a cowl seat (no fenders, hunched up in the middle etc).
Anyway, exhaust, I just installed the Bassani 2 into 1, as far as this type of exhaust go the price is O.K. ($580), also made some mods to some Girling shocks and put them on.

That's why I have my street glide. Just looking to do something different.
