I'll be paying off the RR at the end of the month and my next bike is going to be a project bike and the only requirment is that it's from 1978 (the year I was born). I want to do a cafe racer build with modern rims/brakes and shocks similar to this right here. I was thinking on a CB550 or something.

this gives me many idea's!

IIRC - Full on White Bro's motor (cam, piston), pumper carb. I spent a whole year riding it. It was a blast! I could wheelie that bike for quite a ways. In fact, I got my MC endorsement on this bike. The headlight fell off on the way to the registry (the wheelies cracked the brackets- LOL), and I had to zip-tie it back on for the test.

The 2 photo shoot bikes are great but I do notice neither has any rear lights or license plates... They always kiil the rear end!!
They do look great though, especially the SR

Neil, if you go to the website, I believe the LP is back in the batterybox location.

Can't see it but that is the only possible location looking closely at the bike!
Its a beauty though!!
