I think the electronics are hidden under that header wrap. Looks like a zombies leg caught under the bike.

A few more.  A Honda, a Honda photochop, and even an HD.   Not usually a fan of HD Cafes, but this one, while maybe not a pure cafe sure looks good.
Really, really diggin the upholstery on the seat.

Looks like the vintage diamond Firestone repops.   4"x18" I'd bet.
