Re: I've posted on the cafe side but...

I not only have a cafe' side , I have the whole diner.......

Custom mandrel bent headers, plasma coated, OEM 68 Peashooter Mufflers (no baffles of course), Kehin CR's custom bored with slide cut away, completley ported, polished and Flowmaster flowed head with custom ground cams and high rev ignitor box. It needs all the balls it can get to haul the chair around. It's also one tooth up on the countershaft and has Ferodo high friction pads clamping the discs.

I believe I've achieved the '68 T120 look in a late model wet sumped overhead cam vertical twin that somewhere along the way became one of only 2 outfits in the whole world. It's very unique, very rideable and very collectable.

Very nice looking, Flip! I particularly like you colors, since I have an '03 T-100 in Blue/White.

That's a pseudo Centenial T100. It was a very early 03, one of the first made. It has less than 2100 miles on it at present.. I didn't list all the stuff....The sidecar has Performance Machine 4 pot calipers on stainless drilled discs and it has trailing link suspension witha coil over Progressive shock. There is a custom built 5 gallon fuel cell in the sidecar that feeds the main tank on the bike. The sidecar has diamond tufted leather interior. I custom machined the brake mounts, master cylinder mounts and and braking system. Took 3 years to build. The sidecar is hand pinstriped to match the T100...I did it myself. I used to hand letter signs and piustripe all the time so I had the brushes....Just had to practice a bit...about 6 months or so to get steady again before I laid a brush on the paint.

The hardest thing is riding a regular bike that leans and countersteers and then getting on the outfit and having to drive it through corners......
