Got those twin carbs working ok? They look like Mikunis what size? Manifolds look good. |

Yeh the bike runs fine it's just a shame you don't have a pull choke to adjust the idle but i can live with that, the carbs are 34's. |

I believe you can get a pull choke kit for them but that would mean another 2 cables to mess with. I know you can get the kit that fits the Micarb which is a copy of the Mikuni so should be the same |

Benjies cafe racer made the tank(mild steel) and the seat is fibreglass. They also made the peashooter pipes for me. |

I know what you mean, there are more worse cafe bikes out there than good ones. If this one was in good original shape when i bought it it would of stayed stock but this one needed a complete make over and now i think she's a real stunner. |

Great looking bike. I was just looking at some pictures of it on the BikeShed site. Shame your'e not nearer as it would have been good to have seen the bike in the flesh at the recent BSMC III show in London. |

The paint looks great.
A vintage Ducati-ish font? |

Nice Work.......Looks great.
It's very difficult to design a paint scheme that strays from stock that still works ...most go horribly wrong.
Nice design and execution here. |
