These are one of the best cafe platforms, period!

They can go from purple rain to ultra cool in about 3 weeks. [laugh]

That cafe is sweet  [thumbsup]   Vindingo your bike is coming along nicely, just like the old monsters it needs new mirrors though.

UPDATES -

I got an allen head stainless engine bolt kit to replace the 30 year old steel phillips engine bolts.  I spend about 3 hours last night removing the old bolts.  OMFG it is a tedious process, but the new bolts look so much better.

I also got some header wrap that I should get on in the next few days. 

Next up to purchase - cheapo chrome pod filters, headlight and some more spraypaint for the wheels and forks. 

pics to come soon....

Excellent!

I just bought an early 70's CB750 engine w/a Honda 836cc hi-comp kit in it, some hi-po cam, and a Mallory distributor hanging off the right side on it.  Yes...a distributor...you know, like a car!  Couldn't pass up the deal even though I have no frame or chassis to hang it in.

Oh, and IIRC the Purple Rain bike was a Yami.

I may have a spare set of velocity stacks. What's the outside diameter of the carb?
