Great looking bike.  By the way, what's up with the inflatable doll laying on the blue couch ?

Great bike and documentation.  I liked it stock too. 

I didn't notice the doll until it was mentioned.  Boy you gotta watch out what's in the background here.  Seems like half the posts I see with pics, there are comments on what's in the background.

Looks awesome Mike!  A very clean build and I love the color.

But I am kinda torn!  It looks absolutely fantastic now as a cafe racer,  but you started with a REALLY cherry original. 

John

P.S.  What did you do with the original muffler and seat?
