Greetings from Switzerland !
« on: July 04, 2018, 02:31:45 AM »
Hi all !

I am Vincent from Fribourg in Switzerland.
I am 46 old and I am riding for more than 27 years now.

Today I own a big HD for the long trips, a Ducati 999s, and most of all a  '72 CB750 K2 which I restored and customized as a very classic 70ties café racer.

If it sounds like I know what I'm talking about, it's because I cut and pasted from someone else.

As we are such some rebel riders here, not too much worries about that  ;D

Greetings from Occitanie in France, you are very welcome. Was almost married to a Swiss lady in Geneva, but it was not to be. I visited her grandfather's house in the Jura, and her uncle showed me the route he took guiding downed air crew over the border from France to Switzerland during the war - he was some man.

Great looking bike and love the attention to detail - saw the other pics in the Gallery. Do you have any info/link on the headlight you are using?  I like how it looks.

thanks and welcome to the Forum!
cheers
Andy

It's a 7'' headlight with an integrated MotoGadget speedometer.
Something like this one (mine is not in the catalog anymore:
