Nice!  What sort of tank/seat is that?  Looks like a sweet machine. :)

Nice pics...Damn a cafe racer with a sidecar. Almost looks like a genuine Paul Dunstall body kit could be wrong though...

The headers and the shell around the sidecar had to make that rider lose her hearing.   ;D

Tail piece and tank look very much like the Dunstall kit I had on my 75 750, but I dont think the tank had the scalloped sides.

I have that exact fairing on my bike.....I think it was called a Piranha back in the day. I've had it on the bike for over 30 years.
